Spring comes to the desperate place

Chapter 226 Sweetness

After the kiss, both of them were stunned for a moment. Song Chunlin blushed belatedly, but he was reluctant to break free from the other's arms. He could only bury himself in his arms embarrassedly, with an unstoppable smile on his lips.

Gu Fengyue was pleased by his reaction and held him tighter with both hands. The couple hugged each other for a long time until Song Chunlin felt hot and raised his head embarrassedly. Gu Fengyue looked down and saw that his face was red because of the heat.

"Wow, it's so hot." Song Chunlin fanned himself, took out two cups of iced milk tea, handed one to Gu Fengyue, and then gulped down the cold milk tea himself.

Gu Fengyue doesn’t like sweet things, and his heart at this moment feels like it’s been drinking honey, which is much sweeter than milk tea.

Song Chunlin drank half a cup in one gulp and felt a little cooler.

Both of them got up early to raise the beam. Luo Chen and Luo Yi drove the ox cart to pull the food that had been prepared in advance. Song Chunlin and Gu Fengyue rode on horses and met General Dou on the way.

"General Dou?" Song Chunlin shouted in surprise.

General Dou's legs and feet have almost recovered now. He came to the White Pagoda on horseback this time. He was a little surprised to see the two of them.

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going to put up the beams for Chunlin's new house. Is General Dou here to hand over the official documents?"

General Dou nodded and said, "The houses in Yuexi have been almost rebuilt, but there are still some official documents that are more troublesome to hand over. We will come to clear them up in advance."

He stopped talking at that point. Gu Fengyue smiled and did not ask any further questions, while Song Chunlin was excited and wanted General Dou to attend the beam-raising ceremony with him.

"Congratulations, Young Master Song. Please point me in the right direction. If I am free later, I will go over and ask for a drink."

"Then I will certainly await your arrival."

"It's easy to talk about."

After bidding farewell to General Dou, Song Chunlin looked at his back and said with emotion: "General Dou can be considered a wise man, but it's a pity that there is a fool above him. The mountains are high and the roads are long. If it weren't for your brother's help this time, he would never have a chance to succeed, right?"

Gu Fengyue: "Not necessarily. He is not the kind of person who would give up easily. On the contrary, it is not easy to stay safely in the border for decades."

Quite a few people have come to the vineyard, including old man Ding's family and several women helping with cooking. However, they usually cook home-cooked meals, but today a banquet is going to be held, so Song Chunlin was afraid that they would be too busy to handle it, so he found Uncle Ding in advance and asked him to bring a few people with quick hands and feet to help with cooking.

Uncle Ding brought those familiar faces, young and old, male and female, but they all worked very hard. Everyone wanted to make a good impression in front of the host so that their future livelihood would be secured.

Song Chunlin attached great importance to this beam-raising event, as it was the first time for him to build a house alone. From drawing the blueprint to digging the first soil, he came every day to check on the progress, which was of different significance.

Gu Fengyue and a few members of the Gu family army were also patrolling in the vineyard. There was no other way. This place was too big, and there was a wall for protection. Even a fool would know that the things inside were very valuable. Patrolling here every day was the job Gu Fengyue had given to the Gu family army recently.

After patrolling around and finding nothing suspicious, Gu Fengyue found Song Chunlin and suggested that he leave some self-defense weapons for the Luo brothers before returning to Beijing.

"When the time comes, tell General Dou to send people to come here for regular inspections. Don't you want to raise dogs? Raise a few more, preferably fierce ones. Otherwise, the Luo family and those girls and boys alone may not be able to defeat the thieves."

Song Chunlin indicated that he understood. In fact, even though Gu Fengyue didn't mention it, he also planned to give these people some self-defense weapons, and he also planned to teach them some grappling techniques. He didn't ask them to go into battle and kill the enemy, but at least they could have some ability to protect themselves.

The beam-raising ceremony at the border was very different from that in the capital. Song Chunlin watched it intently. The whole ceremony lasted for almost a whole morning before the main beam was officially raised. As soon as the ceremony ended here, the banquet started directly on the other side.

Song Chunlin has always been generous. For this banquet, he slaughtered a cow and two sheep. Because he was craving for roast duck, he also took out more than a dozen plates of sliced roast duck, which were then served to the table by Luo Chen and Luo Yi.

People here don’t like to eat duck very much, as they think duck meat is very smelly. But when the roast duck with crispy aroma and oozing fat is served on the table, everyone is overwhelmed by its aroma.

Song Chunlin directly made one for Old Man Ding: "Come on, Grandpa Ding, you are the great hero, you take the first bite."

Old man Ding was a little flattered. He quickly took the packaged roast duck, looked left and right, and then nervously took the first bite.

The expected duck smell was not there. Instead, the duck skin was crispy, the cucumber was refreshing, the sweet noodle sauce was rich, and there was also the slightly spicy scallion. All the ingredients were wrapped in a thin dough, and the taste did not taste messy, but rather complemented each other beautifully.

"Mm, delicious, delicious. It's only thanks to the young master that I can eat such delicious duck. Come on, come on, let's eat together."

With Old Man Ding's "poison test", other descendants of the Ding family picked up their chopsticks and rolled a roast duck pancake in Song Chunlin's way. They found that the taste was just as their grandfather had said, and it was really delicious.

Song Chunlin also rolled a big one for Gu Fengyue, and Gu Fengyue subconsciously opened his mouth and ate it. Song Chunlin fed him successfully and smiled with curved eyebrows.

Seeing him smile, Gu Fengyue also smiled and rolled one for him and fed it to him. The other Gu family soldiers sitting nearby couldn't help but shiver when they saw the affectionate look between the Second Young Master and the Young Master Song.

What a joke this couple is. Why do they show their affection regardless of the occasion?

Drinking was a natural necessity at the banquet. Song Chunlin was still young, so Gu Fengyue blocked all the toasts offered to him.

"Chunlin is still young, I'll drink for him, you guys can do whatever you want." After Gu Fengyue finished speaking, he tilted his head back and drank the nth glass of wine. Fortunately, the alcohol content was not high at this time. Seeing that his face turned red from drinking, Song Chunlin quickly handed him a small cup of spiritual spring water to help him sober up.

"If you can't drink, then don't drink. Anyway, I'm old enough and they can't really get me drunk."

Gu Fengyue looked at him mumbling, her eyes sparkling.

"You're worried about me."

Song Chunlin's mumbling stopped abruptly. He turned around with a stern face and ate his meal, not wanting to pay any attention to the conspicuous bag.

However, Gu Fengyue did not let him go and kept putting food into his bowl until the bowl was full. Only then did Song Chunlin hurriedly call for a stop.

"What are you doing? I can't finish all this." Song Chunlin whispered, picking at the food with his chopsticks but refusing to eat.

Seeing that he was finally willing to talk to her, Gu Fengyue tried to coax him in a gentle voice, "It's okay if you can't finish it. I'll eat the rest later."

Song Chunlin couldn't help but glare at him, but he still felt sweet in his heart. Well, as for a boyfriend, a boyfriend who doesn't serve as a trash can is not a qualified boyfriend.

In the end, Song Chunlin didn't finish his meal and there were still a few pieces of meat left. He really couldn't eat any more. Gu Fengyue asked him again and again if he was full, and then she took over his bowl and ate all the leftovers in it.

Song Chunlin just watched him eat his leftovers, and then he realized that the bowl was the one he had used. Damn, it must be covered with his saliva.

After Gu Fengyue finished her meal, she turned around and saw Song Chunlin with a look of disgust on his face.

"what happened?"

"Gu Fengyue, you are so dirty, wipe it off quickly."

"Oh, oh." Gu Fengyue naturally stretched his face over and let the other party carefully wipe his mouth with a handkerchief.

The people at the table watched the two of them interacting intimately, and they all felt like they had been fed so much dog food that they were about to vomit.

After the main beam was installed, the beams beside it were installed even faster. After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill in the afternoon, they installed the remaining beams of the main house in one go. Old Man Ding checked them once and confirmed that there were no problems. Then he happily took the packed meat and led his descendants back home.

Song Chunlin brought a lot of meat, and after giving half to Old Man Ding, there was still a lot left. Luo Chen and Luo Yi helped to pack it. When they went back, everyone got a bag, and they all said auspicious words to Song Chunlin with a smile on their faces.

The Luo brothers also got a bag, which was specially reserved for them by Song Chunlin. The meat inside was all top-quality beef ribs, which was specially reserved for Uncle Fang and the younger sister of the Luo family.

In the evening, the two brothers returned home happily, but when they opened the door, they saw an uninvited guest.

"Luo Shaokun! What are you doing here? You are not welcome here, please leave."

Then Luo Shaokun turned around and looked at the two brothers with disgust. His gaze fell on the packages in their arms and his eyes became gloomy.

"Okay, it seems your father's mistress treats you well. Let me guess what that is? Rice? Meat?"

As Luo Shaokun was about to reach out to snatch the thing, Luo Chen and Luo Yi dodged it. They walked around Luo Shaokun and handed the thing in their arms to Fang Siyi. After Fang Siyi took it, he immediately hid it behind him. The three of them, father and son, glared at Luo Shaokun with unfriendly eyes.

Luo Shaokun smiled instead of getting angry: "I gave you face, didn't I? Luo Chen, Luo Yi, is this the attitude you have when you meet your father? Have you learned all the rules I taught you in the past?"

Luo Chen snorted coldly: "Rules? What rules? Are they the rules of being ungrateful and abandoning your wife and children? Luo Shaokun, from the moment you divorced my little father, you are no longer our father. Since you have accepted my little father's money, you should not harass us anymore."

"Harrassment? After all, you are husband and wife and father. I came here to see you with good intentions. I didn't expect that you are living such a comfortable life." Luo Shaokun walked towards the kitchen. Seeing this, Luo Chen immediately stepped forward to stop him.

"What on earth do you want to do? If I remember correctly, you were the one who said that no matter rich or poor, noble or humble, we should not disturb each other's lives. How come after just a few years, your memory has become worse?"

Luo Shaokun was blocked several times and became angry. He raised his hand and wanted to slap Luo Chen, but unexpectedly Luo Chen grabbed his wrist.

Luo Chen glared at the scum who wanted to beat him up: "Luo Shaokun, do you really think I'm still the same little kid I was back then, who can only let you beat and scold me?"

Luo Yi also picked up a wooden stick and walked to his brother. He didn't say a word, but his attitude was very clear.

Luo Shaokun was restrained by his son, and the key point was that he could not break free. Instead, he was held by Luo Chen and grimaced. He could only be furious:

"How dare you! You are so lawless that you dare to hit your father! Why don't you let me go now?"

Fang Siyi had already closed the door. He stood in front of the door and said coldly, "Chen'er, Yi'er, let him go. If you hurt him, you will have to pay for it. It's bad luck."

As soon as Fang Siyi spoke, Luo Chen let go of Luo Shaokun. Luo Shaokun didn't stand firmly and stumbled to the ground. This fall happened to hit his coccyx, which hurt him so much that he almost couldn't stand up.

He held his waist and stood up in embarrassment, pointing at Fang Siyi and said viciously: "You, you are really great, Fang Siyi, you really taught two good sons. You even dared to ignore his father, which is simply lawless!"

Fang Siyi spat at him: "Bah, you still have the nerve to say they are lawless. Who was it that swore solemnly in the court that both sides would sever their husband-wife and father-son relationships and never have any contact with each other again? Since we have no relationship anymore, can't I beat a vicious dog that came to harass me with a stick?"

Luo Shaokun had been married to him for decades, but this was the first time that Fang Siyi scolded him like this. He was so angry that he couldn't speak for a moment.

The more Fang Siyi looked at him, the more she felt that this man was not worthy of being on the stage. "You are such a sticky plaster that I can't get rid of you. If you think you are living too comfortably, I don't mind going to your shop and telling your customers how you bullied the three of us, father and son. How many times have Chen'er and Yi'er been beaten by you since they were little? You almost sold my daughter to a human trafficker when she was still in her infancy. Luo Shaokun, if you have any conscience, you won't do such a beastly thing!"

Luo Shaokun naturally would not feel guilty. On the contrary, he didn't want to see the four father and sons live a good life.

"Oh, stop pretending to be so noble. If it weren't for the fact that your family has been running the shop for generations, do you think I would look up to you? You can't even lay eggs. Even if you give birth to a bunch of children, none of them can carry on the family line. If I had known you were so useless, I should have kicked you out as soon as possible so that Lan'er could come in. Fortunately, my Lan'er worked hard and gave birth to a boy. Unlike you, you are good-looking but useless."

"Hmph, don't think I don't know. Look at your rosy complexion. I'm afraid you've done something shameful. Look at your looks. You can be a mistress."

"Shut up!" Fang Siyi shouted angrily. It was not enough for Luo Shaokun to slander himself, he even slandered his own son. He was really not a human being. Luo Chen and Luo Yi couldn't stand it anymore. Without Fang Siyi's reminder, they directly took sticks and drove Luo Shaokun out. Luo Shaokun was a scoundrel. Even after being kicked out, he was still swearing. Fang Siyi couldn't bear it anymore. Finally, he rushed into the house, took out the toilet, and poured the filth in the toilet accurately on Luo Shaokun's face.
