Chapter 219 218. Sleep Paralysis
"My family is here."
When Mr. Luo was about to make dinner, he saw Qi Ruomu and was very happy. He still remembered that the last time he came, Qi Ruomu called himself his brother-in-law.
So, today I completely followed the standard of entertaining my brother-in-law from my mother's side and specially took out a grass carp from the refrigerator.
This fish is no ordinary one. "I caught this last week when I went fishing with my old friend. It weighs more than four pounds!"
"How about boiled fish or the stew that you northerners like? Either one is fine." Father Luo said at last.
What could Qi Ruomu say? "It's all right. I can do anything."
"Then boil the fish. Our chili is good. We can also fry our Sichuan peppercorns to make Sichuan pepper oil and pour it on top. It will be delicious."
Dad Luo made the decision. He changed into the Sichuan-Chongqing uniform, which was a long red checkered apron, and happily went into the kitchen carrying the fish.
There is a bully on the platform now. Not only do I have to give away all the fish I catch, but I also get patted on the back if I don’t catch any fish within 20 minutes. It’s too stressful.
Luo's father's fishing partner no longer comes, and Luo's father doesn't like to go to the platform to fish.
So every week on fishing day, the fishing guy would ask Luo's father to go fishing somewhere else together.
Fish ponds, ditches, and reservoirs.
Tianhan is an area with abundant water resources. There are many places to fish. Even if you go to one place every day, you won't find a different one twice a year.
This grass carp was caught by them in Baohe Reservoir last week.
A proper reservoir fish.
Qi Ruomu glanced at Luo Yihang and nodded towards the kitchen, "How many times have you shown off?"
Luo Yihang gave him a look that you understand, "Not many, just three times. One was today with you, one was with my grandfather, and the other time was the day I just came back. My motorcycle ran out of gas at the entrance of the village, so I pushed it up. It was tiring, and I knocked on eight households' doors for water."
“Hahahaha.” Qi Ruomu was laughing. “Hachio… our old man is the same. Once he gets to the gate of the community, he can’t ride his bike anymore.”
The middle-aged man's addiction to fishing, especially the part of showing off, seems to be the same across the country.
"Does your wife live alone with the children, or do you live with your parents?"
"I live alone, but it's close to my parents. They live in the same neighborhood. I can get there just by walking."
"That's good. You're out all day, so your family has no problem with that?"
"I don't run around all the time. I only come out for three or four months a year. Let me tell you, a little absence is better than a new marriage. It's good to be apart from time to time. Alas, you don't understand."
"Shit, I've experienced a lot."
"You are just invincible, you, the rest is..."
Luo Yihang accompanied Qi Ruomu, chatting and talking about family matters.
After a while, Zhang Guiqin also came back.
Luo Yihang hurriedly greeted and joked, "Mom, I've finished inspecting the dormitory."
"Go ahead, I'm just going to take a look. What inspection? Why are you saying that?" Zhang Guiqin retorted to her son. She turned around and greeted Qi Ruomu with a smile, "Xiao Qi is here. Come and sit down. You look so thin. Auntie will make you some good tonic."
"Mom, don't be busy yet, come here quickly, we are looking at the photos of Brother Qi's children."
"Oh, I have to take a look at this." Zhang Guiqin came over with great interest, took the phone and started praising, "Oh, this kid is so beautiful. He looks like his mother, as pretty as his mother. His eyebrows and eyes are like Xiao Qi, especially these eyes, which are exactly the same as Xiao Qi's..."
"How old is the baby... Two years old, that's great. ... Where is your wife from... How many years have you been married..."
Cook?
What to cook?
There is Dad Luo and my son. Cooking is not as fun as cooking for a little kid.
"Hahaha, there's a video. What's this? His face looks like a kitten..."
Zhang Guiqin is very busy now. She is responsible for the logistics of the entire company and runs to the dormitory four times a day.
Before meals, breakfast, lunch and dinner, and before going to bed.
Take a look at the dishes of the day and see if the auntie who came to cook and clean has cleaned up properly.
Before going to bed, I have to talk to the new kids.
Life is particularly fulfilling.
The reception work was smoothly replaced, and Luo Yihang also put on an apron and went into the kitchen to help.
There are many people eating at home now.
Luo Yihang's family of three, the three little Luos, Ma Zhitao, Yang Gong from smart agriculture, and Qi Rumu who came today.
And Li Zheng.
There are ten people in total. Dad Luo definitely can’t handle it all by himself.
Uncle Luo is not coming. He doesn’t like crowds and wants to go home to cook something for himself and eat it with his big yellow dog.
The dog eats bones and he eats meat, then he pours a glass of wine, turns on TV to watch the football game, and drinks one glass of wine all night.
Not long after, Luo Shaoan, Ma Zhitao and Luo Hongzhi came back first.
The two little Luos voluntarily went into the kitchen to help.
Ma Zhitao didn't know anything and just sat in the living room to chat. He and Qi Ruomu, one didn't say a word while the other was chattering, they were a good match.
After a while, Engineer Yang and Luo Qingcai also came back.
Engineer Yang joined a chat group of three agricultural students, and they became two of them who were taciturn and one who was a chatterbox.
Luo Qingcai was a strong man and got hungry quickly, so he came back and acted like a spoiled child to Zhang Guiqin, asking for food.
The last one to arrive was Li Zheng. He brushed off the dirt on his body and washed his hands before entering the house.
After entering the house, he smiled at everyone he saw, "Auntie, I am here to bother you again. ... Expert Qi, I heard that you have been doing something important in the past two months, please tell me about it. ... Engineer Yang, I was just looking for you, is there anything else we need to modify in this shed, please tell me..."
This is the third time that Li Zheng has done work for Luo Yihang.
Half of the work this year was assigned by Luo Yihang. I didn’t mind the short time the first time, but I was more reserved the second time.
The third time, he couldn’t refuse and stayed at home for a meal.
After taking the first bite of the dish, Li Zheng slapped his thigh, feeling so regretful.
I was so reserved the first two times.
Then, there was one more person to eat at home.
With the arrival of Li Zheng.
Everyone is here.
Today, the two men from the Luo family were the chefs and prepared several home-cooked dishes.
All the dishes were reserved, including scrambled eggs with tomatoes, shredded pork with fish flavor, twice-cooked pork, eggplant with minced meat, and stir-fried mushrooms with meat. We happened to have tofu, so we made mapo tofu with spicy sauce.
They are all homemade dishes with homemade seasonings, with bright colors and fragrant aroma.
As they were served on the table one by one, everyone in the house couldn't help but drool.
Knowing how much the family members eat, I cooked large portions and set a large table with seven plates.
The last main course was a pot of boiled fish, placed in the middle.
Take your seat and start eating.
Father Luo took out another bottle of wine from the cabinet.
"Wow, uncle, you are so generous today." Li Zheng was delighted when he saw the bottle of wine that Luo's father took out.
"Of course not, my family is here." Father Luo said happily. He opened the wine himself and went to get the glasses.
Six cups.
Zhang Guiqin doesn't drink, so she didn't give her the three little Ronaldins.
When Luo Qingcai saw the wine bottle, his eyes sparkled and he raised his hand, "Uncle, I want to drink too."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Guiqin slapped him lightly on the back of his head, "Why are you drinking wine, little kid?"
"I'm eighteen..." Luo Qingcai cried and turned to Zhang Guiqin to act pitiful.
Zhang Guiqin didn't buy it, "Eighteen is still a kid."
Well, there’s no hope. The one who stood out was brutally suppressed by the old queen.
Luo Shaoan and Luo Hongzhi looked at each other and sighed at the same time.
What Luo's father took out was a bottle of Wuliangye.
Ever since last time, when Luo Yihang bought Uncle Luo a bottle of Wuliangye in order to treat him.
Dad Luo was like opening the door to a new world.
Before, he drank Chenggu Tequ, Qinyang, Fenjiu and the like, which cost dozens or hundreds of yuan. Occasionally, his third uncle would come and bring a bottle of Xifeng.
Luo Yihang usually didn't buy him wine, he just gave him money directly.
Even after taking the money, Mr. Luo was reluctant to buy wine.
But this time, after drinking Wuliangye, Dad Luo kept talking about it for several days, saying how soft it tasted, how mellow it was, and how refreshing it was, using a lot of nice words.
Doesn't Luo Yihang understand this?
I moved a box directly back for Luo's father.
"You kid, why did you buy such expensive wine? You are just wasting money." Then he accepted it happily.
That night he took two bottles out and found some old friends in the village, where he drank heavily, boasted loudly, and had a great time.
Today is the second time I took it out.
Luo Yihang stood up, took the bottle, and filled Luo's father's glass first, then Qi Ruomu, then Li Zheng, Yang Gong, Ma Zhitao, and finally himself.
Those who want to drink, please pour it.
The three little Luos and Zhang Guiqin poured the drinks.
Father Luo picked up the wine glass and said a few words first, "We are all gathered here today. First of all, welcome Xiao Qi to our home. Secondly..."
Uh, Dad Luo suddenly was speechless.
He was just thinking about welcoming Qi Ruomu, what else...
Mother Luo glared at Father Luo, raised her glass, and continued, "Secondly, I wish you and your family good health. Come on, have a sip, and eat your food."
"Good!", "Good health!", "All the best!", "Uncle and aunt are in good health!"
The old queen's speech was warmly welcomed by everyone. There was a chaotic shouting, everyone raised their glasses, took a sip and quickly picked up the food.
Can't wait any longer.
After half a round of wine and several dishes, I felt full.
Plus, I've eaten it many times, so I've developed some resistance to home-cooked food.
Qi Ruomu couldn't control himself and started chatting happily.
He talked about what he had seen and heard in Ulanbuhe over the past few months.
Mr. Luo became excited and raised his glass repeatedly.
"Wow, the desert can be turned into soil and used to grow food. Great, come and have a drink."
"There are ducks in the desert. There's no water there, but there are still ducks. Drink one, drink one."
"Oh my, what you have done is a great thing. It will benefit future generations and the present. Well said, well said. It is inspiring to hear this. Let's have a drink. We must have one."
Qi Ruomu tells one story at a time.
Everyone present exclaimed one after another.
The wine is also drunk one glass at a time.
When Qi Rumu was happy, he drank a little too much.
Gradually he stopped talking and started to slip under the table.
At the beginning, no one paid attention.
They started chatting. Ma Zhitao had two drinks, which was a bit too much, so he pulled Luo Qingcai to talk about anime. He said he didn't know about one, then he didn't know about the second, and finally the two of them talked about One Piece.
The two kids can really chat with each other.
Luo Hongzhi and Luo Shaoan were arguing, bickering, comparing points, and were deeply immersed in their KPI.
Engineer Yang and Li Zheng also had something to talk about. They talked about the greenhouse project and did not forget about work even at the dinner table.
Zhang Guiqin and Luo Yihang were talking about the new kids, and they knew which one had a good temper, which one was stubborn, which one was timid, and which one was careless. Zhang Guiqin knew this best.
Dad Luo drank cup after cup by himself and enjoyed himself, which was quite nice.
Anyway, everyone has their own things to do.
Until... bang.
Qi Ruomu crawled under the table.
It shocked everyone.
"What's wrong with Xiao Qi? Are you feeling unwell?"
Luo Yihang quickly pulled him up, helped him sit down, and touched his forehead, "You've drunk too much."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Luo's father laughed and said, "He can't drink much."
Mother Luo glared at Father Luo, then waved at Luo Yihang, "Xiao Qi has been on the train all night, and he's exhausted from another day of work. Hurry up and help him go back to bed and lie down for a while."
"Okay, then you guys take your time eating." Luo Yihang carried Qi Ruomu and walked out of his yard.
He still lives in his grandfather's house, and Qi Ruomu has also been staying there these days.
The mushroom house was built, and the two rooms in my grandfather's house were converted back into guest rooms, providing a place to sleep.
After going out, Qi Ruomu shuddered in the breeze and became a little more sober.
"How about it, do you want to vomit?" Luo Yihang asked.
Qi Ruomu lowered his head and shook it.
"Then can you walk by yourself?" Luo Yihang asked again.
Qi Ruomu nodded.
Luo Yihang loosened his grip.
Qi Ruomu fell backwards with a bang.
Luo Yihang quickly reached out and grabbed him.
"Well, be tough."
Holding Qi Ruomu, I returned to my grandfather's house.
He threw the drunk onto the sofa and poured him a glass of warm water.
Qi Ruomu mumbled a few words and started snoring.
"That's good. If you're drunk, just go to sleep. If you don't make trouble, you're a good drunkard."
Ugh.
I had been thinking of reading the brochure that Qi Ruomu mentioned after dinner, and choosing what to plant in the last piece of the greenhouse.
In the current situation, Qi Ruomu won’t be able to wake up for a while.
It's not convenient to search his bag.
So Luo Yihang just threw Qi Ruomu into the living room.
Go back to your room and turn on your computer.
Find today's live replay.
Look at the two cats at home and see how much trouble they have caused.
By the way, I sent this to Ding Rui, making fun of her good boy and granddaughter, who got into trouble again...
This is called interest.
I logged into the communication app and saw that Ding Rui was not there.
But there is a message.
It's twenty cucumbers.
Luo Yihang opened it and saw that it said that the process of the cooperative unit had reached the dean, but the dean was attending a large meeting and would not be back for two weeks.
Luo Yihang replied, "It's okay, just wait."
What else can we do? It’s a big company, so there must be procedures.
Besides, it’s only been more than two months and he has already become the dean. His efficiency is already fast enough.
The message was sent.
Twenty Cucumbers didn't reply and didn't seem to be there.
I also want to ask him if he has a journal and would like to introduce it to you.
Forget it.
Not in a hurry, Luo Yihang opened the video replay and watched it slowly from the beginning.
Just saw Ding Xiaoman's cat army running into the meadow and gathering outside the woods.
At the command, Xiao Xiao Manchong acted as the vanguard and ran into the woods.
I heard it in the living room.
Qi Ruomu shouted, "Ghost! Help!"
Luo Yihang ran out quickly.
I saw Qi Ruomu lying on the sofa, and a cat was sitting on his chest.
Xiao Xiaoman came back from playing and sat upright on Qi Ruomu's chest, with his little face tilted up and his thick tail raised, with the tip of the tail bent into a hook.
She looks so proud, just like a princess.
Especially compared with Qi Ruomu.
His eyes were still closed, but his mouth was open, he was breathing in and out, his limbs were twitching, and he was mumbling to himself, "Help, help, I'm dying, I'm dying~~"
He looked like he was about to suffocate.
Xiao Xiaoman was more like a princess, proud and indifferent, facing the death of a slave with indifference and contempt.
Very handsome!
Luo Yihang quickly took out his cell phone and took pictures of Xiao Xiaoman from all angles.
Save this beautiful moment and send it to Ding Rui...
Qi Ruomu won’t die for a while...right?
