Chapter 165: Wine
"Brother Ranzhi!"
Before entering the house, Hua Jingxing started shouting.
I used to call him Brother Tai, but now that I feel we have a closer relationship, I just call him Brother Ranzhi.
"Jingxing, you're back?"
Tairanzhi walked out of the house.
"Oh! One day, Secretary Su, you all are here.
Isn't it to welcome me?"
Tai Ranzhi is a social expert and can get along well with anyone.
"Secretary Tai, we are all very happy that you can come."
The Party Secretary of Shuanglou Village is called Su Buqi. People in the village call him the Party Secretary, and only outsiders add his surname.
Secretary Su stepped forward and shook hands with Tai Ranzhi, and he was so cordial.
It seemed as if the home Tairan came to was not Hua Jingxing's home, but his home.
"Secretary Su, am I so popular?"
“Of course, your Orchard Village has helped our Shuanglou Village a lot.
We will never forget it.”
Secretary Su said this sincerely.
"It's because you, Shuanglou Village, trust us that our cooperation is so pleasant."
Tai Ranzhi spoke with very high emotional intelligence and praised both parties.
“Yes, our cooperation is very pleasant.
I heard that your village has also set up a lot of processing plants, how are they?"
Secretary Su began to inquire about military intelligence.
"It's OK. It's all thanks to you and Jingxing's help. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been possible to do so well."
Tairanzhi never forgot to mention Secretary Su in every sentence.
When Su Buqi heard that he had made some contribution here, although he knew that others were just being polite, he was still happy to hear it.
"You are too polite, Secretary Tai. This is mutually beneficial for us.
Do you have any good ideas for this visit?"
Su Buqi started talking and didn't let Hai Yitian get a chance to talk.
Several people finally entered the house. Hua Yan made tea for everyone. All of them were good teas, the top-quality Maojian tea that she took out from the space.
Chu Xiu was busy cooking and Sheng Fang was helping.
"Oh! This tea is good!"
Secretary Su took a sip of tea and was filled with praise.
"Grandpa Secretary, I brought this back from Kyoto. I'll pack some for you later.
I also brought some wine for you. When I finish drinking it, I will bring you a bottle as well."
Hua Yan now knows that good wine can bring everyone closer together.
"Ah! You brought wine for grandpa? That's great! Jiuer is still thinking of me."
Secretary Su's face was now full of wrinkles from smiling.
"Jiu'er, I heard it, is there a share for Uncle Tai?"
Tai Ranzhi liked Hua Yan as soon as he saw her, but they were not destined to be father and daughter.
"Yes, of course. I've kept them all for you, including my dad's and Hai's dad's."
As she said that, Hua Yan went to her room and rummaged around, but in fact, she was just pretending, as all the things were taken from the space.
Fortunately, the things in the space can be replenished after taking them, which allows Hua Yan to have no worries.
Hua Yan brought two bottles of Moutai and two bottles of Wuliangye and put them on the table.
When the four grown men saw Moutai, their eyes widened.
Needless to say, everyone knows that this is a good wine.
"Jiu'er, how do you divide this wine?"
Tai Ranzhi looked at the four bottles of wine and knew that they were one bottle for each person, but they were different.
"These bottles are for you to drink while eating, the ones given to you haven't been brought up yet.
I'll give you whichever you like. If you both like it, you can each take one bottle."
Hua Yan said it without any burden at all, which stunned the men.
What do you mean? This is for them to drink first, and there will be more for them later.
Listen, it's really generous. He also said that if you like, you can have two bottles of good wine.
Haha! This girl must be teasing them.
No, if they say you should bring four bottles, then you should bring four bottles. They shouldn’t be lying.
Hua Jingxing was stunned. Where would Hua Yan put all the wine?
This girl took a lot of things, but I didn’t expect they were all wine.
Hua Jingxing shook his head, feeling helpless.
Chu Xiu and Sheng Fang worked quickly and the dishes were on the table in a short while.
Although they were talking, their eyes never left the bottles of wine on the table.
Finally, we can start drinking. Tairan asked in a fake way:
"Secretary Su, what do you want to drink?"
"It doesn't matter which one you choose. They all have to go into your stomach in the end."
Secretary Su took a bottle of Moutai and opened it impatiently.
Wow! Such a mellow aroma of wine makes people salivate.
Tai Ranzhi took the bottle and poured a full glass of wine for Su Buqi.
Hua Jingxing took the bottle and poured for him and Hai Yitian without waiting for Tai Ranzhi to pour for others.
Then he poured himself a glass and picked up the glass to smell it.
The men drank with good wine until dinner time.
In addition to praising the good wine, a lot of work was discussed at the table.
Hua Yan ate with Chu Xiu and Sheng Fang at another table.
When Hua Jiao came back for lunch at noon, she saw guests coming to her house, but she didn't see her mother.
"Jiu'er, why hasn't our mother come back?"
Hua Jiao pulled Hua Yan aside and asked.
“She probably doesn’t know there are guests at home.
By the way, doesn’t she usually go home for lunch?”
Hua Yan thought that Liu Fengzhi would come back at noon and would see the guests at home, but she didn't come back at all.
"Come back! Eat with me and Guo'er."
Hua Jiao also found it strange.
Hua Yan knew that Liu Fengzhi was still in a bad mood and thought that if she didn't go home at noon, someone would come to look for her.
But Sheng Fang did ask:
"Jiu'er, why didn't your mother come back at noon?"
"Ah? Maybe he's busy again!
Aunt Sheng, you eat your food. Once she gets busy, I don’t know when she will be back.”
"Let's wait a while, or go look for it."
Sheng Fang felt it would be a bit awkward not to wait for the hostess to come back, so she didn't pick up her chopsticks.
"Aunt Sheng, my mother often doesn't come back at noon. We are used to it. We don't need to wait for her."
Hua Yan didn't want to look for Liu Fengzhi.
If she went to find her, she would think she was doing the right thing and would not take Hua Yan's words seriously.
Sheng Fang heard Hua Yan say this, and although she felt that it was a bit bad, she didn't take it too seriously.
Hua Jiao went to school after dinner, but went to the medical center first.
"Mom, why don't you come home for dinner?"
Hua Jiao saw Liu Fengzhi sitting in the medical center in a daze.
"I'm not hungry, are you done eating?"
Liu Fengzhi asked absentmindedly.
"Yeah! I'm done eating.
Mom, when are you going back?"
Hua Jiao knew that Liu Fengzhi didn't want to see Hua Yan.
"Let's talk about it tonight!"
Liu Fengzhi said uninterested.
"Mom, we have guests coming to our house. It's Aunt Shengfang and her family."
Hua Jiao felt that this must be told to Liu Fengzhi.
"Ah? When did you come? Why didn't anyone come to see me?"
Liu Fengzhi was quite surprised.
Hua Jiao thought, why do I need you? In the past, when we had guests at home, you never went home to cook.
“I came here before noon and am eating now.
Aunt Shengfang wanted to come see you, but Jiuer didn't come because she was worried that you were busy with work."
Hua Jiao told the truth.
"Ah? You cooked for me?"
When Liu Fengzhi heard that Hua Yan didn't let her come to see her, she was so angry that she was at the top of her head.
“No, Aunt Chu Xiu and Aunt Sheng Fang made it themselves.
It was ready when I got home.”
Hua Jiao did not lie, and she thought there was no need to lie.
"What did you say? Chu Xiu is also in our house?"
Liu Fengzhi now feels equally repulsive and dislikes Chu Xiu and Hua Yan.
"Yes! Uncle Hai and the Party Secretary are here too."
Hua Jiao didn't think there was anything wrong with Chu Xiu being in her house.
If Chu Xiu is not here, the guests will have to cook for themselves. How can this be?
"Mom, if you have nothing else to do at the medical point, go back and eat."
Hua Jiao thought, her mother can’t just ignore everything and put all the blame on Chu Xiu!
Liu Fengzhi now doesn’t know whether she should go back or not.
If she didn't go back, it would be impolite to the guests. If she went back, she would feel uncomfortable because of Hua Yan's incident.
After weighing the pros and cons, Liu Fengzhi took off her white coat and prepared to go home.
"Mom, I'm going to school then.
You can stop by the department store and buy some things for the evening."
Hua Jiao is worried sick about her mother.
