Chapter 834 - 835: Just to Get the Certificate
"Hey, what are you trying to do?" Li Sijie’s mother said irritably: "Do you realize that Sijie is pregnant? You surely don’t want her to abort the baby, or to have the baby grow up without a father, do you?"
"What? Sijie is pregnant?" Li Jianguo’s eyes widened in surprise, then he suddenly burst into laughter, saying, "That’s wonderful news, then we must bring out the liquor to celebrate."
Cui Ying sensed the change in Li Jianguo’s attitude and laughed, "Brother-in-law, does this mean you’ve accepted this son-in-law?"
Li Jianguo glared and said, "Accept! Of course, I accept! Who said I didn’t? I was just scaring him a little to prevent him from bullying my daughter in the future."
"Pfft!" Cui Ying couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Li Sijie and her mother were stunned for a moment, then both showed surprised and delighted expressions.
Li Sijie’s mother stood up, smiling, and said, "Alright, alright, I’ll bring out the liquor right away. This is to honor you from your daughter and son-in-law."
Li Sijie’s mother and Cui Ying went to prepare a table full of dishes. Liu Hu was about to leave, but in the end, he was asked to stay. In fact, he was also very interested in chatting with Song Xiaodong, but as it was someone else’s family banquet, he felt it might be inappropriate.
"Excellent liquor, excellent liquor, this must be fifty years old." Li Sijie’s father poured a glass of liquor, smelled it in front of his nose, took a small sip, squinted his eyes to savor the taste, and immediately praised it loudly.
Song Xiaodong smiled and said, "Uncle is truly discerning. This is indeed fifty-year-old liquor, and there is not much of it left now. I knew Uncle would like this, so I got you two bottles."
Li Jianguo nodded repeatedly and said, "Exactly, exactly, this is what I enjoy. In the military, the liquor is just right. The liquor produced by the distilleries outside, even Maotai, doesn’t taste as good as the ones from the military."
The atmosphere that followed was incredibly good. Song Xiaodong, Li Jianguo, and Liu Hu found too many topics in common. Li Jianguo seemed to be taken back to the feeling of being in the military, which improved his mood even more. Everyone drank a lot, and the two bottles of liquor Song Xiaodong brought were soon emptied by the crowd.
