My father's Responsibility

Chapter 31

Sharing the Kang

Although Ji Chunshan promised Ye Qinglan that he would not drink too much, he could not stand Wang Liehu's extravagance. Many young people in the village also joined in the fun and poured him cup after cup. He didn't know how much he drank, but he couldn't walk straight. Before the wedding banquet was over, he was sent back by Wang Liehu's brother-in-law Chen Song.

Ye Qinglan heard the noise in the house and came out. He saw Ji Chunshan staggering with a flushed face and a drunken look. The strong smell of alcohol made him breathless. Many unbearable memories of the past flashed through his mind. He couldn't help but freeze his steps and his face turned pale.

Chen Song supported Ji Chunshan and saw Ye Qinglan standing in front of the hall without moving. His face was not good at all. He thought that Ye Qinglan was angry with Ji Chunshan, so he explained for Ji Chunshan: "Sister-in-law, don't blame Brother Ji. It was a few guys in the village who were naughty. They took turns to force Brother Ji to drink. We are all from the same village. It was my brother-in-law's day. Brother Ji didn't want to spoil the fun, so he drank a few more cups."

"... Qing... Qinglan..." Although Ji Chunshan was drunk, he still recognized Ye Qinglan. He smiled at him while calling him, looking silly. He also stretched out a hand to reach Ye Qinglan, but there was no trace of the ferocious and ferocious look when he was drunk before.

Seeing Ji Chunshan's silly smile, Ye Qinglan's originally raised heart suddenly relaxed. He relaxed his expression, smiled slightly, and said: "It's okay. It's Brother Wang's good day, and it's only right to drink a few more cups. It's just that Brother Chen has to run a trip, thank you for your hard work." Then he took two steps forward, supported Ji Chunshan's arm, and helped him into the house with Chen Song.

"It's nothing, sister-in-law, you're welcome." Chen Song smiled.

Entering the main room, Ye Qinglan wanted to help Ji Chunshan go to the west room where he lived, but Chen Song went straight to the east room. He didn't say anything and followed him into the east room.

Putting Ji Chunshan on the kang, Chen Song saw that there was only a quilt on the kang, and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, but he didn't ask anything more. He completed the task assigned by his brother-in-law and planned to go back.

Ye Qinglan said hurriedly: "Brother Chen, have a cup of tea. You've worked so hard, you should take a break." Then he picked up the teapot and a clean teacup to pour water.

Chen Song waved his hand and said: "No, no, thank you sister-in-law, you take care of brother Ji, I'll go back first." Then he walked out.

Ye Qinglan couldn't keep him, so he sent him out of the yard.

After sending Chen Song away, Ye Qinglan returned to the house and saw Ji Chunshan pulling his clothes with an uncomfortable look on his face, still shouting that he was hot.

Helplessly shook his head, stepped forward to help him take off his coat, and soaked a towel to wipe his face and hands. Hearing him shouting that he was thirsty, he fed him a few more cups of tea, and finally went to the west room to get Ji Chunshan's bedding, spread it out, and stuffed him in.

Although Ye Qinglan is much better now, he is not as good as an ordinary person. He was out of breath after working so hard, so he sat down to rest. He looked over and saw Ji Chunshan, who was comfortable and sleeping soundly.

He tucked the quilt for Ji Chunshan, looked at his peaceful face in deep sleep, thought of everything that happened in the past month, thought of the voice that woke him up from the abyss of darkness, made him hate him so much but now only grateful, Ye Qinglan moved his lips slightly, and said silently: "... No matter who you are, thank you..."
