Chapter 438: Eavesdropping at the Corner (3)_1
Both my uncle and my second uncle seemed to have their thirst for alcohol triggered, but since Lin Jiaxin’s legs were not good, he couldn’t drink much either. Therefore, the duty of accompanying them in drinking naturally fell upon Xia Zheng.
Luckily, Xia Zheng had a way with words and knew how to keep people happy, charming both uncles into cheerful laughter.
Liu Siqi had just one drink and burst out laughing, "No wonder Big Brother praised you as soon as he got back. You truly are a fine young man!"
Liu Zhiyang was okay; he was young and not interested in alcohol. But Liu Zhiguang, enticed by the scent of wine, sneaked a sip, only to grimace at the spiciness. The Meng Family Wine House’s liquor was strong and certainly not suitable for someone who had never drunk before.
Liu Zhiguang looked up at Xia Zheng with admiration. He’s good-looking, skilled in martial arts, and can even handle such strong alcohol. Impressive!
Lady Liu was in her postnatal confinement, with Lady Fan and Liu Limin staying to keep her company; everyone else had things to do at home. After lunch, while it was still not cold, they hurried back.
Liu Huaiqing hadn’t had his fill of drinking today and his childlike temper was acting up, leaving him somewhat disgruntled. Lin Yuan giggled and called over her two cousins to move the remaining two jars of wine onto the ox cart.
"Grandpa, this wine is all yours. But once you’re back, you can’t drink too much, okay? Only one cup a day, else your body won’t be able to take it," Lin Yuan instructed Liu Huaiqing repeatedly, like she was talking to a child.
Seeing there was still so much wine left, Liu Huaiqing immediately brightened up and repeatedly nodded, "One cup, cup one."
Lin Yuan covered her mouth with a chuckle, once Grandpa was joyful, he loved to speak in spoonerisms. It seemed like he was truly delighted this time.
