Chapter 47

Hearing Shazhu's words, Qin Huairu frowned slightly and asked, "What is it?"

Shazhu: "Deputy Factory Director Li asked Xu Damao to give this to Lin Shengli—there are quite a few tickets, plus a large dried sea fish and two large dried squid, all big."

Jia Dongxu's eyes lit up: "Shazhu, then give us some, please."

Shazhu: "Wait a moment; if Eldest Uncle doesn't call me for a drink tonight, hum, then don't blame me."

"I'll head back first; Eldest Uncle might come call me any moment."

Jia Dongxu prayed in his heart: "Master, master, please don't call Shazhu out for a drink."

"If you call me, call our whole family together."

Qin Huairu glanced at Shazhu's back, then turned her gaze to Zheng Juan and Yi Dama, who were washing vegetables in the courtyard.

How she wishes she could take Zheng Juan's place now!

As long as she helps with some work, she can eat and drink well.

She let out a soft breath and whispered to Jia Dongxu:

"First go inside and tell Mom, then when we go to apologize later, you must make Mom bear it a little, say more nice things, and definitely strive to gain Eldest Uncle's forgiveness."

"Zheng Juan and Yi Dama are still washing vegetables; wait a bit longer, and when they're about to start, then bring Mom over."

Yi Zhonghai's home.

Nan Yi finished a slice of watermelon and said to Lin Shengli:

"Shengli, it's time we went to cook."

Just now Lin Shengli said he wanted to learn cooking.

Nan Yi readily agreed.

"Let's first make beef stewed with potatoes."

Upon reaching the kitchen, Nan Yi picked up the beef and, while cutting it, said:

"For this dish, the beef should be cut into cubes, like this."

"I'll first briefly explain the process to you, and I'll go into detail when we actually cook."

"As for the potatoes, wash and peel them, then cut them into cubes as well; first boil water in the pot, and after it boils, add the cut beef......"

【Ding, the host listened attentively, triggering the cooking skill, cooking points +10.】

About an hour and a half later.

Lin Shengli successfully upgraded his 【Beginner Cooking Skill】 to 【Intermediate Cooking Skill】.

Now, whenever he cooks himself, he can gain cooking points.

At this rate, it won't be long before he can reach the 【Divine Cooking Skill】.

Seeing him humbly seek advice and not be ashamed to ask, Zheng Juan also grew a bit fonder of him.

He is, after all, an engineer.

And yet he likes cooking so much.

He must be a good man who takes care of his family.

The Jia Family.

The sky gradually darkened.

Zheng Juan and Yi Dama have finished washing the vegetables for quite a while.

Qin Huairu looked at Jia Dongxu and said:

"Dong Xu, it's time to serve the dishes; take Mom to apologize to Eldest Uncle."

"Also bring Bang Geng and Xiao Dang along."

Upon hearing that.

Bang Geng and Xiao Dang both jumped up excitedly.

Jia Dongxu and Jia Zhangshi exchanged a glance and stood up.

Qin Huairu: "Mom, for Dong Xu's sake, for Bang Geng's sake, you must bear it a little."

"There's plenty of time ahead; we'll think of another way anyway—we can't let Lin Shengli succeed."

"Otherwise, our days will become difficult from now on."

"By the way, when the time comes, if someone is polite, just sit down and don't worry about the rest."

"Bang Geng has been wronged today; let him eat his fill to make up for it."

Jia Dongxu nodded and asked, "What about you and Huaihua?"

Qin Huairu: "No problem; by then you'll have Mom eat slowly, after that you can help tidy up there—Yi Dama won't make her work for free, right?"

"Then they'll probably give her some leftover dishes to take back, and we'll eat later."

"Even if they don't give anything, it's fine as long as you eat well."

Jia Dongxu movedly said, "My wife is still the best."

Jia Zhangshi let out a long sigh and walked out of the door.

Isn't it just speaking humbly to Yi Zhonghai and Lin Shengli and saying sorry?

Isn't it just saying a few more nice words?

Isn't it just bearing it a little?

For her beloved son and grandson, and to keep Yi Zhonghai supporting their family as before, letting them eat well and dress well, she decided to go all out.

At the same time.

Yi Zhonghai's home.

"Are the glasses all filled?" Yi Zhonghai held up his wine cup, stood up, looked around, and asked.

"Lao Yi, I've poured them all, even Xiao Guangming." Yan Bu Gui said with a smiling, squinty look.

Zheng Guangming, can you drink? If you can't, then forget it. Yi Zhonghai looked at Zheng Guangming, speaking caringly.

Yes, Shengli Ge's wine is too fragrant, I want to try a bit. Zheng Guangming showed a rare smile.

Eldest Uncle, one cup of wine, it's fine. Zheng Juan looked at her brother happily, she also became happy.

Alright, then I won't say anything else.

Let's drink a cup together, everything is in the wine.

Everyone stood up together, after clinking glasses, Yi Zhonghai held his wine cup, raised his neck, and drank it all in one go.

After the wine went down, everyone smacked their lips, as if savoring it slowly.

【Ding, the host earnestly drank a cup of wine, alcohol tolerance +20.】

Suddenly.

The Deaf Old Lady slapped her thigh and said: "Good wine, good wine."

Yan Bu Gui sighed: "Indeed it's good wine, Shengli, where did you buy this wine?"

Buy some for San Da Ye too.

Liu Haizhong teased: "Old Yan, you actually dare to buy wine?"

Yan Bu Gui: "You say that, Old Liu, you're looking down on me."

Liu Haizhong laughed: "Don't dare, don't dare."

Cai Quanwu: "I run a small liquor shop, I certainly haven't drunk little alcohol."

Speaking of this wine, I think it's the best wine I've ever drunk.

Even Maotai is no better than this.

Shengli, if possible, our liquor shop wants to stock some.

Lin Shengli laughed: "This wine, as for where you can buy it, I tell you, no amount of money can buy it."

That's actually brewed by a reclusive master himself.

The output is very small.

In short, you guys don't need to worry about it.

Yi Dama laughed: "Shengli said don't worry, you guys don't need to worry anymore."

Today, let's drink heartily; it's better than anything.

Come on, everyone eat the dishes, ah.

Yi Zhonghai let out a long sigh, then consecutively poured himself two cups, each drunk in one go.

The Deaf Old Lady asked concernedly: "What's wrong, Zhonghai?"

Yi Zhonghai: "Nothing, I just remembered my poor sister."

Ah, it's all my fault.

After saying that.

Then drank another two cups.

Guan Yushan: "The departed have passed; the living must be strong."

She also wouldn't want to see you like this.

Yi Zhonghai: "Older brother, you don't know, I really blame myself."

I feel very guilty; if it weren't for me, she perhaps wouldn't...

Yi Zhonghai's mood was very heavy.

Lin Shengli could still tell to some extent.

He also didn't expect Yi Zhonghai to be so sentimental.

After Yi Zhonghai drank another cup of wine, he then spoke about what happened back then.

As it turns out.

Back then, Yi Zhonghai's sister Yi Zhongyan liked a rural person.

Yi Zhonghai strongly opposed, no matter what he would not agree to their marriage.

The siblings had lost their parents since childhood, depended on each other, and their feelings were deep.

Yi Zhonghai felt that this was also for Yi Zhongyan's own good.

But.

Yi Zhongyan had taken the weight and made up her mind.

She made up her mind and secretly ate the forbidden fruit with her partner.

She thought that once the rice was cooked, Yi Zhonghai would agree.
