"What's so brave about this? It's just drinking." Dr. Zhang laughed and said smoothly.
The woman smiled even more: "This wine... looks a bit strange! But don't worry, it's definitely not poisonous. I'll drink it with you!"
Dr. Zhang laughed loudly and pointed his index finger at his nose: "Even if you are poisoned, I am not afraid. In this era, there is no disease that I can't detoxify or cure!"
"Okay, feel free!" The woman was obviously in a good mood and waved her hand to the young man standing next to her: "Tomorrow, do your sister-in-law a favor... Go to the back and bring over my wine that is stored in the small wooden barrel...
…get two more cups.”
The young man nodded, took two steps inside, and then stopped: "Sister-in-law, I won't let you drink..."
The woman's face froze, she turned her head and blinked at the boy: "Just a little bit..."
The young man looked embarrassed: "But...but the eldest brother said that you are not allowed to drink until my nephew comes out..."
"Oh my, why am I not allowed to drink the new wine I brewed myself?" The woman began to lie, and said to the young man in a coaxing tone: "Just a little bit, it doesn't matter. Look at Fen'er,
I didn't stop drinking when I was pregnant with her, so she came out alive and kicking?"
The young man hesitated a little, lowered his beautiful eyes, and muttered something in a low voice.
The woman narrowed her eyes and pretended to sigh: "Okay, okay, I don't need you anymore, I'll move it myself..."
"How can that happen? My nephew is in my sister-in-law's belly, and my eldest brother said I can't let my sister-in-law move things!" The young man seemed to be a little too naive, but he was taken away from his thoughts, forgot the previous topic, and hurried to the back, rushing
Went to move that small wooden barrel.
Doctor Zhang looked amused and followed the young man with his eyes until he was out of sight.
"That's my brother-in-law. He's a little mentally ill, but he's cute and cute." The woman also smiled, looked at the young man's back, and chatted casually with Dr. Zhang: "When I first met him, he was only five years old.
I was six years old, and now in the blink of an eye, ten years have passed."
Ten years, also ten years.
Doctor Zhang squinted his eyes, feeling a little confused.
It has been ten years since he came to Dazhou.
Of course, there is also that old friend who has also been here for ten years.
"Sister-in-law, I brought the small wooden bucket here!" The young man awkwardly held a small wooden bucket and walked over with a smile.
"Tomorrow is great, help my sister-in-law to pry open the wooden stopper, and then pour the wine into these two big cups, okay?" The woman praised while taking out two large wooden cups and placing them on the table.
.
The young man received the compliment and felt pleased with himself. He nodded quickly and turned around to look for a knife, ready to pry open the stopper on the barrel.
Doctor Zhang looked at the small wooden barrel and felt a little strange.
Damn it, this wooden barrel looks... very familiar. But by the way, is there any wine in Dazhou that is packed in wooden barrels? He has been here for ten years, why haven't he heard of it?
"Sir, this wine is called 'draft beer'. It's not strong, but it's very refreshing. It just looks a little weird and has some bubbles... But don't worry, sir, there's absolutely nothing wrong with this wine!"
The woman said, her eyes fixed on the barrel: "My husband-in-law is a businessman, and now Dazhou has business dealings with several surrounding countries. Last time, he got some hops from the west, saying that people from the west have them.
I brewed this kind of wine, so I gave it a try. To tell you the truth, this is my first time brewing this barrel. If it doesn’t taste good, please don’t be offended..."
Dr. Zhang was a little stupid. He stared at the small wooden barrel and said nothing for a long time.
"We have beer...do you have any fried chicken..."
Doctor Zhang murmured to himself, but the woman listened intently.
The landlady smiled and clapped her hands, seeming to be in a good mood: "The customer is so knowledgeable! This wine is really meant to be eaten with fried chicken. I bought several here in the afternoon and kept them, waiting to eat them in the evening.
of!"
Doctor Zhang slowly raised his head and looked at the proprietress blankly...
"The king of heaven covers the tiger of the earth..."
The landlady was stunned and blurted out: "The pagoda suppresses the river demon?"
Dr. Zhang had a black line on his face: "Reform and opening up!"
"……Eight Dos and Don'ts……"
In the room, no one spoke for a long time. Until the young man finally pried open the cork on the wine barrel, making a "bang" sound.
"Damn it, what the hell! What happened? I met a fellow countryman again!" Dr. Zhang covered his face with his hands and said dullly.
The landlady's expression seemed to have been struck by lightning. She just looked at Dr. Zhang but couldn't say a word.
"Sister-in-law, I opened it!" The young man worked for a long time and finally pried open the cork. He was in a very good mood at the moment. He smiled extraordinarily innocently and brightly. He suddenly raised his head with big eyes and asked for credit from the landlady. His face was filled with "please praise me, please praise me."
”.
However, the landlady had no time to pay attention to him at the moment.
She was staring at the newly arrived guest without saying anything.
It was a cool summer night, and a breeze suddenly blew in the yard, which startled the summer cicadas hiding in the trees in the yard to sing in unison.
The little girl who was drawing a grid on the ground with branches in the yard finally wrote a few numbers in the grid, then tilted her head and looked at it for a while, then stood up with a smile and ran back to the room.
"Little uncle, come out quickly! Fen'er has drawn the grid, let's dance the grid!"
The young man was originally feeling strange. He was standing in the silent room, still holding the cork in his hand, looking left and right. At this moment, he heard the little girl's clear cry, and he was immediately attracted to it and blossomed.
With a cheerful smile, he nodded vigorously and threw away the things in his hands: "Here we come! My uncle will definitely dance better than you this time!"
After that, the young man followed the little girl out of the room. The little girl's eyes flashed and she looked at her mother without saying anything.
It wasn't until the boy led her out that she raised her head and asked, "Uncle, what's wrong with my mother? Why does she seem to have seen a ghost? Could it be that the guest just now was a bad person?"
The young man didn't understand why and shook his head in confusion.
The little girl sighed angrily, stretched out her white and tender little finger and poked the boy's waist: "My uncle is an idiot! I'm going to find daddy, but I have to watch my mother to prevent anything from happening!"
The young man knew that his niece was smarter than him. Even his eldest brother once said that Fen'er's brain was simply a bit too clever. So, although he didn't understand, he knew that he should listen to smart people. The young man nodded and looked.
The little girl spread her short legs and ran towards the backyard in a hurry.
The young man scratched his head and looked into the room.
