C58 (1/2)
Jiang Huagang had long since noticed Jiang Hua An's gesture towards He Yuan, and the two of them had slipped away to the side. He couldn't help but rejoice. It seemed that his future sister-in-law was already in his big brother's pockets. His big brother's attack was indeed fast, accurate, and ruthless. It hit instantly.
After everyone drank the fruit wine, they were much more relaxed compared to before. After a while, they stood up and began to talk, and it was Chen Zhu's first time drinking fruit wine, and also her first time today. In a moment of happiness, she drank a few more mouthfuls, but then she heard Jiang Hualiang say from across the table, ”Sister Zhu, this is wine, not water, why is your child drinking so much?”
Chen Zhu raised his wine cup and took another sip, staring at Jiang Huagang, ”What part of me do I look like a child to you?” As he said this, he stood up to take a look because he had lost He Yuan. Jiang Hualiang suddenly called out, ”Sister Zhu'er, come over here!”
Chen Zhu didn't dare to refuse. However, he secretly muttered in his heart, saying that it's my birthday, and I don't have any presents. He then just used his mouth to pray, and then he just ate and drank for free.
Seeing that Chen Zhu was hesitating for a moment before he dragged his feet and approached, Jiang Hua Kuan felt upset in his heart, asking, ”Miss Zhu, am I very scary?”
Not scary, not scary!” How could Chen Zhu dare to say in front of everyone that Jiang Hua Kuan was scary? With just a glance, he could tell that Jiang Hua was a tough guy with a tough build and a tough face.
She had an expression of being afraid of me, yet she still insisted that she wasn't afraid. Jiang Hualiang thought for a moment, then decided to speak more gently to the child, scaring her so much that she didn't know what to say. While thinking, her face softened. She lowered her voice and said, ”I just want to tell you, Sister Yuan went over there. Don't go over there.”
Hearing Jiang Hua Kuan's voice soften a little, Chen Zhu couldn't help but glance at his face, which was no longer fierce, and looked much more pleasing to the eyes than usual under the moonlight. Feeling a little more relaxed, he nodded and said, ”Got it!” As he spoke, he felt an itch on his neck, even on his back. He scratched his neck.
”Don't grab!” Noticing Chen Zhu's strange expression, Jiang Hua Kuan leaned closer to take a look, and his face changed: ”Have you ever drunk fruit wine before?”
”We're not allowed to drink at home. This is the first time we've had a drink. ” Chen Zhu scratched his arm again, feeling itchy all over, and said with a sad face, ”I'm going back!” Wu, to suddenly itch like this, I have to rush back to the cabin to ask the mama to bring hot water to wash up.
”Wait!” Jiang Huagang shook his head, ”Some people get a red lump when they drink alcohol. Last time, there was one who got a red lump too, and it was bloody. It's not good to look at.” He looked at Chen Zhu and saw that her face was red, and she did not dare to grab onto her arms anymore. However, she was pressing her hands against the wall, and was obviously itching for action, stamping her feet as she rushed towards the cabin. She thought for a moment and then went to catch up, ”Don't scratch it, drink more water, you'll have a cold bath later, and can't take hot water. I'll go to the captain and see if there's any prickly heat powder. If there's anything I can get you to throw on your body, it'll stop the itching. ” He ran to the captain's cabin.
Since the sailors were blowing the river and sometimes had red patches on their bodies, they could actually stop the itching with prickly heat powder. There were several boxes of chili powder on the boat, and Jiang Huagang took a box from the captain and hurriedly ran over to Chen Zhu's cabin and knocked on the door. Chen Zhu was still stamping her feet to resist the itch, but seeing that Jiang Huagang had arrived, she immediately let him in.
”Hurry up and sprinkle it on top. Drink some more water. After a night, you won't feel itchy anymore.” Jiang Hua Kuan passed the powder to Chen Zhu, and seeing that the others have not returned to their cabins yet, he nodded, ”Tonight the moon is bright, and they won't be coming back from the deck.” She then stood up and said, ”I'll go out and call a mama to help you sprinkle the heat shock powder.”
”Thank you, Big Brother Kuan!” Although big brother Kuan was usually fierce, he was quite attentive at times. I decided not to speak ill of him behind his back next time. Chen Zhu raised her eyes to look at Jiang Hua Kuan, thanked him and stood up to see him out.
”Enough, this red piece can't be blown by the wind even if it has grown. A single blow will only make it even more itchy.” You should quickly go in! ” Jiang Hua An saw that Chen Zhu was trying to resist the itch, so he felt quite pitiful. He shook his head and said, ”I already told you not to drink too much wine, but you wouldn't listen.” As he spoke, he stood at the door to let Chen Zhu in. Then, he opened the cabin door and closed it before leaving.
”Hua Kuan, I have something to tell you.” Jiang Hua An, who was standing on the deck, stopped when he saw Jiang Hua Kuan approaching. He smiled and said, ”Why aren't you drinking with them from the front?” Just now, this bro came over and said that he's missing you. ”
”Sister Zhu'er drank some wine and felt itchy all over, so I asked the captain for a box of heat shock powder to send to her.” Jiang Huagang answered casually as he laughed, ”Where's sister-in-law in the future? How come she's gone?”
”She's moving her head forward!” ”Sister Yuan, don't call her sister-in-law. Once I'm ashamed and walk away, I won't have a sweat towel anymore.”
Jiang Huagang looked at the scented bag on Jiang Hualian's body, clicked his tongue, and said, ”With my future sister-in-law around, I'll be different. I'll be wearing a scented bag, and I'll smell good whenever I walk.”
”If you're envious, you can find a girl to embroider for you.” Seeing that Jiang Hua was about to speak, Jiang Hua An pressed his hand down, not allowing him to speak. He looked up towards the heavens and said, ”Don't even mention asking your future sister-in-law to embroider for you. I can't bear to tire her out too much.”
”What?” Embroidery one more spice bag and you'll be tired? ” Jiang Hua Kuan spread out his hands and said, ”Call mother to help me embroider when we return home, what's so rare about it?”
Jiang Hua An laughed heartily and said, ”The ten embroidery ladies all know how to embroider. However, you don't have the ability to get a little girl to embroider one for you. There's nothing you can do about it.”
In front of this big brother, Jiang Huagang no longer pretended to be mature and steady. He rolled his eyes and said: ”I heard that you only had a sachet to wear this year, what are you so proud of? Besides, I really want a sachet. I've already collected countless of them. It doesn't matter if you take a sachet, you just have to be afraid of getting into trouble. ”
”Once I get engaged, Mother will go all out to talk about you. You won't be able to avoid it for long.” Jiang Hua An stood shoulder to shoulder with Jiang Hua Kuan and smiled, ”I see. Why don't you make a decision, Miss Zhu?” Firstly, Miss Zhu and Miss Yuan are close. Since the two of them have companions at home, the little girls will not bother us even if they were to talk about the little girl. Secondly, they are still young and don't know much. We don't need to be annoyed, we can just practice our martial arts as usual. ”After you've finished your thoughts, you won't see the sky nagging at us, so listen quietly.” Jiang Hua An patted Jiang Hua's shoulder and said, ”Sister Zhu seems to be doing pretty well. If you don't decide on her, then I will make a decision for you that I don't know of, and I will regret it.” Although it is the night that the men of our Jiang family get married, there is no one who doesn't marry. You can't run away. ”Think about my words.”
Jiang Hua Kuan opened his mouth to speak, but when he thought about it carefully, he stopped. His brother was right. If he couldn't avoid getting married, he might as well choose one himself. At this time, he thought of Chen Zhu's little face, nodding as he said, ”Sister Zhu Zhu'er, your pretty face is also lively, but it suits my taste. It's just that she looked scared when she saw me, and she was afraid she wouldn't want to. ”
