Chapter 740: Wine
Seeing that it was getting dark outside and it was already 4:30 in the afternoon, the few of them stopped talking about this topic.
Liu Jingxue got dressed and went out, planning to call Grandpa Wu and her aunt back.
It’s so cold outside, we can’t leave the two of them outside in the cold wind all the time.
When Liu Jingxue found the two people, Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao were just coming down the mountain carrying things.
Let Grandpa Wu and Auntie go back first, and Liu Jingxue stand there waiting for them.
"When did you come back from town?
Did I return the bike I rode yesterday?" When the two of them came closer, Liu Jingxue asked two questions in a row.
Zhou Mingxuan replied, "The bicycle has been returned. We just got back."
Looking at the cigarettes and alcohol in the hands of the two people, Liu Jingxue joked,
"You guys didn't drink too much ginseng wine last night. You didn't get enough alcohol, so I brought some wine here specially. I want you to drink a few more glasses."
Zhao Junhao scratched his head embarrassedly, "You figured this out.
In such a cold day, I must drink two cups to warm myself up.
It’s a pity that Grandpa Wu was stingy and refused to let us drink more of their ginseng wine. He also made the excuse that he was afraid we would overdo it.
Today we got regular wine so they don’t have an excuse to make us drink less.”
Thinking of the bombshell she had dropped today, Liu Jingxue felt that the elders might not drink much today, and the plan of these two people might fail.
But she wouldn't expose it.
"Xiaoxue, when will you take us into the mountains?"
Liu Jingxue thought for a moment and said, "I'm going to town tomorrow to send something to Grandpa Zhang.
My second brother also wants to call the army to report that he is safe.
The day after tomorrow, I will take you into the mountains early in the morning and bring back some prey."
"Xia Lan and Zhang Yingchun came to me today and said they would go home to visit their relatives this year and asked me to help get more meat. I have agreed.
It's just right that we can go there the day after tomorrow to get some more, and give some to them then, and the rest will be waiting for you to return, and the eldest and second brothers can take the rest away when they return."
When Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao heard that they would be able to go into the mountains to gain experience the day after tomorrow, they immediately became happy.
"It's settled then. You can't change your mind. We'll go into the mountains the day after tomorrow.
It just so happens that we got a big bag of salt today." Zhao Junhao confirmed.
"Don't worry, I promise I won't lie to you. If I say the day after tomorrow, it will be the day after tomorrow."
There is strength in numbers. With so many people working together, a sumptuous dinner was quickly prepared.
As Liu Jingxue expected, drinking was not allowed at today's dinner like last night. Instead, drinking was prohibited.
Zhao Junhao shouted that he wanted to drink to his heart's content, but was slapped by Mr. Wu.
"You can't keep good things, you want to waste them all in one day, right?
I drank so much yesterday, why should I drink today? Can’t I save it for later?
"Old man, my head is still a little fuzzy now, and I don't want to sleep until noon tomorrow."
Liu Jingxue had reason to suspect that Mr. Wu was not lying when he said he felt dizzy.
But it shouldn’t be because of the hangover last night, but because of the bomb she threw.
Zhao Junhao pursed his lips in grievance, "Grandpa Wu, you, Grandpa Zou, and Uncle Liu drank to your heart's content last night, but Mingxuan and I only drank a little.
I've just brought out the alcohol bug in my stomach and you're not letting us drink anymore.
I finally bought some wine today and wanted to enjoy it, but you wouldn't let me.
Isn’t this pure bullying?”
“I didn’t say you can’t drink, I just said you can drink after two days.
Good things should be savored slowly, and only a steady stream of water can bring them eternity." Mr. Wu said.
After hearing this news today, he decided not to drink for a while.
Otherwise, I might get drunk and blurt out the whole thing, and let those two boys hear it, which would harm them.
"Grandpa Zou, it's okay if Grandpa Wu doesn't want to drink, but you and Uncle Liu don't want to drink either?" Zhao Junhao looked at Grandpa Zou with expectation.
Among these people, the only one who can suppress Mr. Wu is Mr. Zou.
"We are old, not as young as you.
I had a hangover yesterday and it will take a few days to recover, so why don’t we wait a couple of days before drinking again?”
How could Liu Jianjun not understand what the elders were thinking, so he quickly tried to smooth things over.
"Mingxuan, Junhao, not only did you not drink much tomorrow, I didn't either.
Watching them chug down glass after glass of wine, I was almost dying of hunger.
But I'm injured and can't drink more.
If you drink again today, I will have to suffer again.
Please just pity me, your brother, and don't drink tonight.
After a few days, my wound will be better and I won't have to abstain from food anymore. Let's ignore them and just stay at home and drink to our heart's content, okay?
It’s hard to get a wine ticket. If I drink today, I won’t be able to drink in a few days.
Given our physical condition, we really shouldn't drink too much ginseng wine."
Seeing that Liu Jianjun sounded so pitiful, Zhou Mingxuan thought it was not appropriate for the two of them to tempt him any more, so he helped persuade Zhao Junhao.
"Why don't we wait a few more days until Brother Liu recovers from his injury, and then we can drink together.
Soldiers can drink a lot, and these two bottles of wine may not be enough for my second brother to drink alone.
I'm afraid we'll have to get some more wine."
Seeing that everyone disagreed with drinking tonight, Zhao Junhao had no choice but to compromise.
"Okay, then let's drink again in a few days."
“Let’s not drink secretly at home, we have to drink in front of Grandpa Wu.
It was him who teased us last night, so we have to go back with ambition."
Elder Wu laughed when he heard this, "You are quite vindictive, kid.
But why do you remember me? Didn’t your Grandpa Zou also want you last night? "
"But you are the one who is most greedy, so all the hatred is on you."
"Okay, stop making trouble and eat quickly.
I'm afraid you didn't sleep well last night, so go to bed early tonight.
Xiaoxue and Jianjun have to get up early tomorrow to go to town." Wang Xiulan said.
After finishing the meal and cleaning up the mess, the elders sent the four people home to rest.
They still have important matters to discuss.
It was already dark, and every household in the production team had already closed their doors and were sleeping on the kang.
"Xiaoxue, let's go get your things back now.
As for those few ginseng plants that we have, we always feel uneasy, fearing that someone might take them away.
I have to check it out sooner or later to feel at ease.
I'd better give it to you right away so you can keep it with more peace of mind."
Liu Jingxue thought, you will definitely feel at ease if I keep him in my care.
As long as there is space, I am not really worried about my things being stolen.
"Then go to my place first, take the shoulder pole and backpack, and bring all the things back at once."
After taking the things to Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao's homes, the three of them packed up the things they had brought from Liu Jingxue, except for some food, and prepared to ship them back.
Liu Jianjun wanted to help, but was rejected by the three people.
If Liu Jingxue didn't want to expose the existence of the space and didn't want them to think that they were short of things and make people in the cowshed tighten their belts, she really wouldn't want to go through all this trouble.
After getting the things back, Liu Jingxue told Zhou and Zhao to leave.
"Tell my second brother that I'll ride my bike to find him tomorrow morning and take him to town."
