“Oh my gosh!” They laughed as they wiped away their tears. No one expected Dagui to act like this after drinking so much!

Everyone had a good laugh and found it entertaining.

Even Xue Shi, who was in Yu Hongyan’s arms, was clearly clueless, but laughed along to their antics as if he had been infected. He grinned and giggled until his eyes disappeared. He was so happy that waved his two little arms in glee.

Xue Dafu was also drunk, but he didn’t talk or act foolish. He just sat on the bench and leaned on the table.

The wine and food on the table had already been cleaned up. Shao Youyue and the others had also returned to the few small rooms at the back. They were already very happy. They were starting to get tired from all the socializing so they went back.

“Erhu, stop forcing your father and Xue Dagui to drink!” Liu Guixia smiled and patted her son on the shoulder. “We should never do this! I’m getting a stomach ache from all the laughing!” She even wiped away the tears from her laughter. She was having the time of her life.

“They insisted on drinking with me. How can you blame me? They should know when to stop.” Erfu laughed and felt wronged.

“Then can’t you make them drink less?” Liu Guixia wiped the tears from her laughter again and urged, “Alright, you two. Hurry up and send this man back home. It’s getting colder late into the night as well. We shouldn’t just leave him here in the cold.’

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan just watched as Yifu and Erfu worked together to carry the man back. They didn’t drink as much and insisted on getting Xue Dagui, who was lying on the ground, back home. Sifu also helped. The three of them worked together and sent Xue Dagui to his house next door.

Xue Yifu, Erfu, and Sifu only returned after instructing Xue Gouzi to keep an eye on his father and to call them if anything happened.

After they returned, the three of them worked together to put their father to

bed.

Liu Guixia took off Xue Dafu’s shoes and socks and covered Xue Dafu with the blanket before walking out of the inner room. She went to the outer room and stayed awake to celebrate the New Year.

In the past, she never had the chance to drink alcohol. So why should she start now?

Xue Dafu was drunk, so he couldn’t stay up for the New Year.

Because Li Hehua was pregnant, she decided to call in early at night after the celebration. It was not good to be staying up that late at night.

After Li Hehua went up, she waved at Jiang Yue and Xue Yan. Jiang Yue and Xue Yan then took off their boots and climbed up. Then, Yu Hongyan carried Xue Shi up, followed by Liu Guixia, and then Xue Yifu, Erfu, and Sifu.

There was a brazier close to them keeping everyone warm. Moreover, there were blankets placed on top of it, covering everyone’s legs.

There were so many people sitting on the brick bed, and there was even a small table in the middle. There were snacks like melon seeds and peanuts on the table, as well as tea. It was not crowded, but all the seats were filled.

After chatting and joking for a while, they saw Xue Shi dozing off in Yu Hongyan’s arms.

Xue Shi babbled for a bit and then fell asleep. Everyone immediately laughed again. Then, Yu Hongyan sent Xue Shi to the rocking bed to sleep.

The children in the Xue family were always told to sleep early, so when the night went on, their heads started to dip to the side.

The adults told Xue Yan and Jiang Yue to go to bed if they were sleepy.

When Yu Hongyan returned, Erfu suggested killing some time by playing a few games, “Where’s the chess board? Since we’re free, we might as well have Xue Yan teach us how to play.”

“I’ll go get it.” Xue Sifu immediately smiled and put on his boots. He went to fetch the chessboard and the two cans of chess pieces from Xue Yan’s room..
