Courtyard House: Report enemy agents at the start, and you'll take off immediately.

The most difficult challenge was over, and Liu Guangqi was safe and sound, which put Zhao De at ease.

When he arrived at the table where the children were gathered, Zhao De waved to indicate that he would offer a toast himself, as it would not be appropriate to have someone else do it for him.

"Come on, let me toast everyone."

"Happy wedding!"

"A happy marriage for a hundred years!"

"Brother, when are you going to get married again?"

Just as everyone was offering their blessings, a child suddenly blurted out this sentence.

This left Zhao De and Yu Li both amused and helpless.

The child ate with great relish, his mouth full of oil, reluctant to even swallow the meat in his mouth—it was simply too delicious.

"Children speak without thinking, children speak without thinking. Children who are used to hard times only think about eating meat."

An older woman quickly explained, creating an awkward situation, while inwardly scolding the young man for talking nonsense.

"It's alright, it's alright. Eat as much as you like. There's plenty of meat. Eating it will even help you grow taller!"

Zhao De didn't mind at all. Everyone clinked glasses cheerfully and then moved on to the next table.

From then on, it was mostly Liu Guangqi who was toasting, since there was a second half to come!

That was basically how the first half went. By the time the kitchen staff started eating, most people had almost finished eating, but very few people left.

There was still plenty of food on the table, so they could sit and enjoy their meal. Director Yang and Deputy Secretary Li finished eating and left; they were just there to make an appearance, nothing more.

As soon as they left, a group of workers outside immediately surrounded them, and the second half of the drinking contest began.

"Second Uncle, these leaders are all very good drinkers. You should show them your incredible capacity for alcohol. If you have the chance, we'll all support you becoming the workshop team leader!"

Well, in one sentence, Zhao De dragged Liu Haizhong into the mess.

Now things were really complicated; the Liu father and son were taking turns helping Zhao De fend off the drinks. However, even if the Liu father and son were good drinkers, they couldn't handle the sheer number of people!

So Zhao De quickly approached Yan Jiecheng, who was drunk and passed out to the side, and asked, "Hey, what brings Qianqian here?"

"Where is it?" Yan Jiecheng suddenly sat up.

Zhao De thought to himself, "Good heavens, this guy is indeed faking being drunk."

Damn it, provoking him was the right thing to do.

"I misread it, oh wait, Jie Cheng, you're not drunk! Come help me!"

When Zhao De called out, Yan Jiecheng could no longer pretend; he couldn't very well lie back down.

When he arrived at the main table and saw the bowl full of baijiu (Chinese liquor), Yan Jiecheng felt a chill run down his spine!

Will drinking this cause any problems?

[Resentment level +23.49% (55.29%)]

"Jiecheng, you're here! Quickly, this bowl of wine is for you!"

Liu Guangqi could barely stand and leaned against Yan Jiecheng. Zhao De quickly pulled him away.

Yan Bugui quickly picked up a piece of meat and said, "Son, eat something to fill your stomach first."

Zhao De saw this and said, "Don't eat it! What if Uncle San throws up later? It'll be such a waste!"

Yan Bugui paused for a moment, then realized that it made sense.

When he came to his senses, he saw that Yan Jiecheng had already picked up the bowl and was contributing resentment points while drinking.

[Resentment level +16.77% (72.06%)]

[Resentment level +11.24% (83.3%)]

[Resentment level +7.46% (90.76%)]

"it is good!"

"cheers!"

"come on!"

The workers were overjoyed. Although it wasn't Zhao De drinking, they loved watching others drink the most when watching drinking contests, so they were just as happy no matter who was drinking.

[Joy level +6.33% (18.41%)]

[Joy Value +4.29 (22.7)]

Chapter Seventy-Four: Jia Zhangshi, nearly driven mad with anger

Yan Bugui, instead of feeling sorry for his son drinking so heavily, looked like he had gotten a bargain.

why?

Because wine is brewed from grains!

In an era of scarcity, the value of grain was self-evident, not to mention the value of wine brewed from grain.

Ordinary people can't afford to drink alcohol!

So, being able to drink it is a bonus.

Suddenly, Yan Jiecheng choked and coughed violently a few times.

Nineteen

This caused Yan Jiecheng's complaint value to skyrocket, reaching its peak and entering the seventh round.

Looking at him again, he seemed a little confused.

He seemed to be getting drunk.

"No, I really can't take it anymore!"

Yan Jiecheng waved his hand in refusal, but Zhao De insisted that he finish the rest of the wine so as not to waste it.

"With your alcohol tolerance, even Qianqian is much better than you!"

After finally getting Yan Jiecheng to finish the last sip, Zhao De couldn't help but complain.

"Stop fooling around, I can still drink!"

As a result, Yan Jiecheng was provoked by these words, pushed Zhao De aside, and looked around for more wine.

"Alright, alright, you should rest for a while."

Zhao De was worried that if Yan Jiecheng continued drinking, he would really get drunk. Fortunately, Yan Jiecheng still had some manners when drunk and did not cause any trouble.

Yan Jiecheng and Liu Guangqi were both drunk, so Zhao De had to take matters into his own hands and fight against the five opponents alongside Liu Haizhong.

Liu Zhong is the type with endurance; he can drink a cup, rest for a while, and then drink again when he's almost done.

During this time, Sha Zhu and Lao Li came to help, but they were already very tired after a busy morning, so they only had a few drinks before leaving.

And so, the second half of the drinking went on until one o'clock.

Zhao De also felt a little dizzy. He checked the time and thought that if he hadn't run out of wine, he probably would have continued drinking.

He estimated that he and Liu Hai each drank at least half a jin of baijiu (Chinese liquor) in the later stages of their relationship.

By the way, we need to send Jia Zhangshi back quickly, otherwise there will be trouble later.

He still remembers it.

Zhao De immediately checked the time and breathed a sigh of relief. There were still twenty minutes before the two-stage reversal ended, so there was still time.

"Lily, Lily! Come on, let's go over there. I'll take Lily to see Mom and Dad first."

After greeting him, Zhao De nudged Liu Guangqi and asked, "Can you still walk?"

Liu Guangqi did not respond.

He glanced at his father, Liu Haizhong, who, as expected of the man with the highest alcohol tolerance in the courtyard, was still sober.

"Where are Second Uncle and Second Aunt? And Guangtian and Guangfu?"

"They left first, saying they'd come pick me up later."

"Okay, then you can wait here."

"Uncle, could you help your son back home?"

Zhao De turned to Yan Bugui, who was cracking sunflower seeds and peeling peanuts. The guy's mouth never stopped, and his pockets were full of food.

"Let's wait until Liberation and the exile come over, my old bones can't take it anymore!"

Like Liu Haizhong, the Third Aunt and Jiefang Jiekuang went home first, while Yan Bugui naturally stayed here. After all, staying a little longer meant he could eat an extra peanut, so why not?

Today was a joyous occasion, so Zhao De went along with him. However, as he passed by Yan Jiecheng, he mischievously teased him.

"Jiecheng, Qianqian says you're really useless."
