Chapter 154 - 147 Cups of Wine Down
Xiao Mi’s mother’s eyes narrowed with surprise upon hearing about Tian Sisi’s family background. A retired old revolutionary from Beijing? That was a veteran cadre.
No wonder the children from this household were all outstanding – the young men handsome and the ladies beautiful, every single one of them talented and with good manners, dressed differently than common folks – clearly, they came from a solid background.
Tian Sisi brought two bowls of sweet dumplings over to Tian Shouhua and loudly said to the two who were enthusiastically drinking, "Beautiful sister, Brother Shouhua, have something to eat before continuing with the drinks. Otherwise, it’s not good for your stomach."
Being called a beautiful sister by a stylish young lady felt extremely pleasant to Xiao Mi, who happily took one of the bowls Tian Sisi handed over and started to eat. Tian Shouhua also took a bowl and ate with big bites.
Tian Sisi watched Tian Shouhua eat the sweet dumplings with a beaming smile. She had secretly put some hangover fruit into the dumplings. Although the color was slightly off, the poor lighting that evening coupled with Tian Shouhua’s blurred vision from drinking too much meant he probably wouldn’t notice.
While Tian Shouhua remained clueless, Tian Xinhua did notice but he kept silent. Instead, he glanced at Tian Sisi, who was grinning like a little fox, and thought for sure this Ah Nan must be up to some mischief! Who knows what she added to the fourth brother’s dumplings?
After they finished eating the dumplings, the competition continued with them downing bowl after bowl of liquor. Several bowls later, Tian Shouhua was inwardly astonished to find himself becoming more sober the more he drank. Could it be that he was the legendary drinker who never gets drunk?
Tian Xinhua also sensed something was amiss. It seemed that Ah Nan must have added something sobriety-inducing to the fourth brother’s dumplings. Where did she get all these oddities from? Tian Xinhua was extremely curious but he did not plan to ask Tian Sisi; he was waiting for her to tell him herself.
