Before the New Year, everyone agreed that they would have dinner at Xue Da’ s place tonight. They were all invited to Xue Darongs house.
Xue Dahua and Xue Dagui’s family would also go to Xue Darongs house for dinner.
Even though he had not interacted with Xue Dahua’s family for many years, they were still in the same village and had done many family activities today, so they were not awkward with each other.
Since they would only go for dinner in the evening, Jiang Yue accompanied Xue Yan to the back of the house to chat with Shao Youyue. Hongyan and Hehua also went.
Hongyan even carried Xue Shi along.
The two women brought along the chess pieces. They recently learned to play Gomoku, and they wanted to teach Shao Youyue.
It just so happened that the sun was out today, and the weather wasn’t as cold as yesterday. Jiang Yue and Xue Yan sat in front of the small house under the sun, basking in the sunlight while watching the women play. Their eyes gleamed as they enthusiastically taught Shao Youyue how to play Gomoku.
Shao Youyue knew how to play chess and she was actually quite good at it.
When she was taught how to play Gomoku, she lost several games in a row.
Yet during the end of each game, she felt quite satisfied as she slowly caught up to this refreshing game.
She now had more in common with Li Hehua and Yu Hongyan.
When the sun went down and it started to get a little colder, she went back to the hut.
At night, when they were having dinner at Xue Darong’s house, Xue Darong wanted to pour wine for everyone. Xue Dafu and Xue Dagui, who drank a lot last night and still had a headache, immediately waved their hands.
Their eyes started to dart around in fear.
Xue Darong did not pour them any more, but he could not help but ask, “How much did you guys drink last night? If it weren’t for you guys, we would have slept earlier.”
There were very few people who had alcohol at home. Even if there was, there wasn’t that much. Naturally, no one had ever gotten drunk and caused such a scene before.
Xue Dagui let out an exaggerated sigh. “The wine was really, really strong.”
Xue Dafu chuckled. “Actually, I didn’t drink much. It was mainly because Dagui dragged me along to see how much Erhu could drink. Who knew that even though both of us fell, Erhu was still standing just fine.”
Since this topic was brought up, Erfu immediately took over and smiled at Xue Da, “Grandpa, you should have seen how Xue Dagui looked when he was drunk last night. He gave all of us a stomach ache from laughing too hard. He refused to let go of my foot and thought I changed into a boot!” Xue Da was amused by the stories last night and chuckled heartily.
Xue Darong, Qian Caiyu, and the others also laughed.
Xue Dahua and the others smiled slightly, but they were also very embarrassed because they were being exposed for their antics.
Xue Dafu and the others couldn’t respond to Xue Dahua’s family when they talked about interesting things. After all, the two families had not interacted for many years.
Every time they ate at the same table, it was always like this. Although Xue Da, Xue Darong, and the others were used to it, they were always slightly disappointed.
Jiang Yue had lived in Locust Village for a long time, She knew Xue Dahua was part of the Xue family but they never interacted much. It was mainly because Dahua’s wife had reservations about Xue Dafu’s family. Unless she finally opens up, the two families would probably be in this state for the rest of their lives.
Jiang Yue couldn’t help but wonder if the relationship between the two families had finally eased in her previous life.
It just so happened that Xue Yan could tell what she was thinking and replied her thoughts.
“The relationship between the two families has always been like this..”
