Chapter 141 Night Watch
Chapter 141 Night Watch
"That's fine, but you have to work hard after the New Year's Eve."
Meng Nian thought about it, and he didn't force the other party anymore. The other party was also practicing very hard before, and he saw it.
Hearing this, Meng Yan on the side couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief, a haze flashed in his eyes, he must find a genius doctor to look at his meridians, otherwise, sooner or later, his blocked meridians will be discovered.
"Okay Xiaoyan, it's getting late, you go down to study your homework, and I'll ask the servant girl to call you after dinner."
Mrs. Meng flirted with the other party, and gently patted the other party's shoulder.
Meng Nian sat aside for a while, then returned to his room.
"Xiao Cui."
After Meng Nian left for a while, Mrs. Meng's face turned cold, she put down the cup in her hand, and yelled.
The maid named Xiaocui came from outside and said, "Ma'am."
"Go ask uncle to come over."
Mrs. Meng squinted her eyes slightly, feeling very resentful in her heart. The poison that was given to Meng Hua before appeared on Xiaoyan's body, which made her both surprised and angry.
"Yes."
Xiao Cui nodded, and left respectfully.
At this time, Meng Hua was following Guo Jingming and the others towards Guo's house. Today was the New Year's Eve, and there was a night watch. Guo's house had Meng Hua's room, so he didn't worry about not having a place to sleep.
"Grandpa, grandma, father, mother, we are back."
As soon as Guo Jingming entered, he called out to Guo Wenliang and the others.
"I'm back, come in to keep warm, is it cold?"
After seeing him, Mrs. Guo waved at him, and when she saw Meng Hua behind her, she raised her lips and smiled: "Hua Hua is finally here, come here."
"Auntie."
Meng Hua cupped his hands at the other party, and then sat directly beside the other party.
At this time, Mr. Guo and the others were resting, so they didn't know that Meng Hua was here. If they knew, they would be very happy.
"Father and mother, we have invited our cousin here, is there any reward?"
Guo Jingming reached out and snatched the pastry from his younger brother's arms, grinning happily and asked.
Mrs. Guo at the side looked at the other person and raised her eyebrows directly: "How about making carrot scrambled eggs for you at noon today?"
"No, no, mother, I don't need you to cook by yourself. With the cook here, I can't bother you."
Hearing this, Guo Jingming immediately smiled embarrassingly, and finished eating what was in his hand.
"Okay, you guys are bored here, go play in the back."
Of course Guo Wenliang knew his son well, so he probably felt a little bored, so he just let them play in the back.
Guo Jingming and the others nodded and went directly to other places.
"Come, come, come to my room. I got a new gadget recently. Come and take a look. It's quite fun."
Guo Jingming brought everyone into the room, and the two younger ones followed them. After listening to each other's words, they looked at each other very curiously.
"Brother, do you have anything fun?"
Guo Binchu looked at the other party and blinked, and asked curiously.
"You will know when you come in."
Guo Jingming smiled, then removed the things from his desk, and said, "Senior brother Luochen gave this to me before, I forgot about it."
"This is chess?"
Qing Yuxi looked at the things on the opponent's plate, which were a little different from chess, but they could feel that it was chess.
"Yes, this was figured out by a craftsman in their family. Come on, this is what he gave me before, saying it is a rule."
Guo Jingming smiled and handed the paper to everyone.
"understood."
Everyone circulated it and nodded, knowing how this thing works.
"Jingming, I'll play a game with you first."
Meng Hua was very interested in this chess, and the others just watched from the sidelines.
This kind of chess is somewhat similar to checkers. Everyone played chess before, so I am really interested in this thing.
After playing for a while, the two little ones felt bored and went directly outside to make a snowman.
Mo Chenxiu and Qing Yuxi sat directly by the door, drinking tea, even though it was cold outside, it was still very warm with the door curtain.
Today is New Year's Eve, so at noon, the kitchen cooked a lot of meals, and Guo Wenliang took the long-preserved wine from the cellar, and everyone celebrated the arrival of the New Year.
"Come on, come on, except for the two younger ones, each of you has a drink, Zi Jie can drink a little, you three are boys, don't be afraid."
Guo Wenliang poured a big glass for the three of them, and laughed.
Mrs. Guo directly took the wine jar from the other party's hand, and said: "Don't force yourself, just drink a little bit, Xixi, I remember you don't seem to be able to drink, so you don't need to drink, don't listen to your uncle, just want to drink , that’s what pulled you.”
As for her husband's temperament, Mrs. Guo still knows very well, she must want to drink it herself, but she is afraid that she will say it, so she poured so much for the three children.
"Okay, auntie, it doesn't matter if I drink a little."
Qing Yuxi nodded. He doesn't drink a lot, but it's okay to drink a little. Today is the New Year's Eve, so he should drink a little.
Everyone was eating and drinking, and Meng Hua was in a very good mood during the Chinese New Year at Guo's house. It was much better than facing those bad people at Meng's house.
"Eat more, don't drink wine, eat more food is the most important thing."
Mrs. Guo treated them equally, added some dishes to the children, and said with a smile.
"Okay, thank you, auntie."
Qing Yuxi nodded with a smile. Mr. Guo and Mrs. Guo, who were seated at the top, looked at each other and smiled.
This family is just right together, lively and lively, how wonderful.
They watched fireworks yesterday, knowing that the younger ones like fireworks, so Guo Wenliang bought some specially this year for the children to play with.
"Children can't play for too long."
In the evening, Guo Binchu and Qing Yeran played for a long time, Mrs. Guo saw that it was almost done, so she asked the servants to bring them back.
It's colder outside this night. Although the fireworks are very beautiful, if you suffer from the wind and cold because of it, the loss outweighs the gain.
"Okay, mother, these fireworks are so beautiful."
Guo Binchu hugged his mother's waist and said with a smile.
Mrs. Guo smiled and patted the other person's head, and pulled Qing Yelian who was beside her into her arms, saying: "You two have to pay attention, children are easy to wet the bed when they play with fire."
"Auntie, I'm already ten years old and I can't wet the bed."
Bed-wetting must be done by children. Qing Yelian felt that he was ten years old, so he would definitely not be able to wet the bed.
Guo Binchu also nodded in agreement, they are all older children, so they won't wet the bed.
"Okay, okay, no."
Mrs. Guo smiled, and then told the maids in the two rooms to pay more attention at night, and if they wet the bed, they should carry them to another place to sleep.
It was too cold outside. Although Mo Chenxiu and Qing Yuxi liked fireworks very much, they didn't go to play. They just watched from the sidelines. The fireworks bloomed one by one in the sky, which was very beautiful.
Today everyone was going to watch the night, so Guo Wenliang directly sent people to put melon seeds and fruits in the pavilion, and everyone ate and chatted inside.
In view of Mr. Guo's advanced age, the couple stayed with the children for a while, and then went back to their room to sleep.
Guo Wenliang, as the head of the Guo family, must keep watch at night. Mo Chenxiu and Qing Yuxi are also able to stay up late, so they chatted with each other on the sidelines.
As for the two children, Qing Yelian and Guo Binchu, who were full of energy at the beginning, they immediately let out a sigh of relief and fell asleep in their brother's arms.
"Zi Jie, take them back to sleep."
Seeing the sweet sleeping faces of the two children, Mrs. Guo couldn't help smiling, and asked Guo Zijie to take the maids to send the two back.
"Okay, Mom and Dad, then I'll go back first."
Guo Zijie nodded, she was actually sleepy too, so go back to sleep, anyway, only his parents are the only ones who can keep watch till the end of the year.
"If you are sleepy, go back to sleep, we are here."
Mrs. Guo looked at the crowd and smiled softly. They must keep vigil, and they are actually used to it every year.
"It's okay, we can still persist."
Qing Yuxi smiled, and directly pulled Mo Chenxiu to sit on the chess table beside him, and played Go.
"Mother, in previous years, you and dad kept vigil, but this year I will also come to vigil."
Guo Jingming smiled. In fact, he was really not sleepy, and he slept for a while after lunch, which was a positive sign.
Seeing this, Guo Wenliang and Mrs. Guo looked at each other and smiled. Since the children want to keep watch, let them go.
Although it is late at night, there are curtains around the pavilion, and there is a brazier in the middle of the pavilion, so everyone doesn't feel cold.
"Jingming, you have already lost."
Meng Hua sighed helplessly after watching Jingming regret his move for the third time, and said with a smile.
Guo Jingming waved his hands hastily and said, "No, no, I don't believe I still lost this time."
This was the third time he had lost to Meng Hua, and he couldn't believe it. He obviously learned how to play chess from a master when he was a child. Why is his chess skill so poor?
"Haha, Jingming, if Mr. Zheng knows your level, he might say that he never taught you."
Guo Wenliang watched the opponent play chess, and laughed unceremoniously.
He still knew about his son's chess skills, and Mrs. Guo on the side also pursed her lips and smiled. Both father and son were stinky chess players.
Hearing this, Guo Jingming was a little helpless, and sighed leisurely, why didn't he inherit his mother's level?
It may be that there are more people, so when everyone is together, I don't feel that time passes particularly slowly.
After midnight, Guo Wenliang and Mrs. Guo lit a ball of firecrackers at the same time, and the crackling sound echoed throughout the Guo family.Fortunately, everyone slept late, even though the sound of firecrackers was loud, they did not wake up from the sweet sleep.
"Okay, it's getting late, you guys go to rest too."
Mrs. Guo looked at the children beside her, smiled softly, and asked everyone to rest.
