Chapter 41 I can’t handle the alcohol, so I’ll take care of you personally!

During lunch at the Gu family, Qin Zhizhi prepared a plate of spicy peanuts.

She also took out the wine she bought in the county town yesterday and gave it to the men in the family.

Spicy peanuts are the perfect snack to go with wine.

"Grandpa, try mixing this with some wine." Qin Zhizhi smiled and put a jar of wine on the table.

"Hahaha, good granddaughter, grandpa will try it for you right now."

Old man Qin was very happy. He had never had such a good life before. It was good enough if he could drink a few times a year.

Now, under the pretext of letting my granddaughter try some food and wine, I can have a couple of drinks and wake up smiling in my dreams.

Gu Jinghuai took the jar of wine and poured wine for the elders himself.

"Jing Huai, you guys should pour some too, but pour a little, so we can taste it together."

Old man Qin was in a very good mood today. Seeing that Gu Jinghuai only poured wine for the elders, he smiled and asked them to pour some too.

Old Man Qin gave the order, and Gu Jinghuai poured wine for Qin Qingyuan and Qin Qingyun, and also poured half a cup for himself.

He can't drink much, so he has to be extra careful when socializing with classmates.

"Why don't Jinghuai pour more?" Old man Qin saw that his grandson-in-law only poured half a cup and thought that his grandson-in-law was reluctant to drink it.

"Grandpa, Jinghuai can't drink much, half a cup is enough." Qin Qingyuan has a good relationship with Gu Jinghuai and is relatively clear about his situation.

"Since you can't drink so much, just try it."

There are no such things to pay attention to when a family drinks. When Old Man Qin heard that his grandson-in-law had a low alcohol tolerance, he didn't dare let him drink more.

If he drinks too much and feels uncomfortable, the whole family will definitely blame him.

"Thank you for your understanding, Grandpa. Jinghuai would like to offer a toast to everyone." Gu Jinghuai raised his glass.

"Good boy, sit down quickly. There are no so many rules in a family."

Seeing that her grandson-in-law was still standing, Mrs. Qin quickly persuaded him to sit down.

"Husband, we are all family. There is no need for so many rules. Just drink to your heart's content."

Qin Zhizhi thinks that a family should drink happily and eat meat.

Gu Jinghuai listened to his wife. After Qin Zhizhi spoke, the others became more relaxed.

After drinking a little wine and eating spicy peanuts, it’s delicious.

Seeing the intoxicated expression on Grandpa's face, several people hurried to try it and found it was indeed wonderful.

"How is it?" Qin Zhizhi asked impatiently.

"Hahaha, Grandpa thinks this is the best dish to go with wine." Old man Qin gave the highest praise.

"Now that Grandpa says it's good, I feel relieved." Qin Zhizhi felt relieved after hearing her grandfather's praise.

The others also gave it high praise.

"I'll send a bowl to your uncle and second uncle later so they can have a taste too."

Old man Qin drank his wine happily, and did not forget his eldest and second brothers.

"Got it, Grandpa. Zhizhi has prepared everything. I'll send it to the eldest and second masters after lunch."

Qin Zhizhi originally planned to send some to the eldest and second masters.

"Just eat your food. You don't need to tell me about this." Mrs. Qin rolled her eyes at Old Man Qin.

This made the other people at the table laugh. The men drank wine and ate food, while the women and children chatted and savored the food.

"Uncle, take me with you when you send my husband and brothers to the academy tomorrow."

"Zhizhi, what do you want to buy?" Qin Shan asked stupidly.

Li nudged him with her arm, thinking that her niece might be reluctant to part with her niece-in-law and that her husband was really a fool.

"No, I want to bring this spicy peanuts to Shopkeeper Wang to try." Qin Zhizhi smiled sweetly, and Qin Shan was happy to see it.

"Well, uncle will take you there when the time comes." Qin Shan loved Qin Zhizhi and there was no reason for him to refuse.

"Thank you, uncle."

Qin Shan chuckled a few times when his niece thanked him.

After the meal, everyone was very happy, except Gu Jinghuai who was a little dizzy due to the alcohol.

Qin Qingyuan looked at Gu Jinghuai and knew that he was drunk, so he said to Qin Zhizhi.

"Sister, Jing Huai must be drunk. Take him back to the house to rest for a while."

Only then did everyone realize that Gu Jinghuai's face was red because he had drunk too much.

"Zhizhi, you don't need to clean up here, go take care of Jinghuai."

Qin Zhizhi didn't expect that Gu Jinghuai had such a low alcohol tolerance, so she quickly went over and helped him to the bed with her brother.

Gu Jinghuai was not seriously drunk at the moment and was still conscious. He wanted to struggle to get up, but he was supported by his brother-in-law and could not move at all.

It was not until he lay down on the bed that Gu Jinghuai felt that he was finally free.

"Sister, take good care of Jing Huai. Big brother will go out to help."

After Qin Qingyuan gave Qin Zhizhi instructions, he left the room.

Qin Zhizhi didn't expect that it was Gu Jinghuai who was unable to drink in the end.

He went out and brought in a basin of warm water, wet a handkerchief, and wiped Gu Jinghuai's face and hands.

Worried that Gu Jinghuai was feeling uncomfortable, he asked Wanwan to make some sobering soup for him to drink.

Fortunately, Gu Jinghuai was very well behaved when he was drunk. Qin Zhizhi settled Gu Jinghuai down before going out to help.

Although Qin Zhizhi was busy throughout the afternoon, she would feed Gu Jinghuai warm water every once in a while.

Gu Jinghuai slept until the evening. When Qin Zhizhi came in for the last time to give him water, she found that her husband had woken up.

Worried that he was still drunk, Qin Zhizhi tentatively called out, "Husband!"

"My wife, how long have I slept?" Gu Jinghuai pressed the solar plexus, but this time he didn't feel a headache.

"Husband, my mother and I are already preparing dinner. My mother asked me to come in and see if you are awake. Are you still feeling unwell?"

Qin Zhizhi sat by the bed and watched Gu Jinghuai pressing the Taiyang acupoint. Thinking he had a headache, she gently pressed it for him with her hands.

Gu Jinghuai closed his eyes comfortably.

"Are you feeling better, husband?" Qin Zhizhi asked with concern.

Gu Jinghuai felt soft in his heart, his little wife was so precious.

He opened his arms and held Qin Zhizhi in his arms, resting his chin on Qin Zhizhi's shoulder, and said in a muffled and coquettish voice, "I need my wife to hug me to feel better."

Qin Zhizhi was dumbfounded. Could it be that her husband was still drunk? Otherwise, who was the one acting like a spoiled child?

"Husband, do you really not feel uncomfortable?" Qin Zhizhi asked cautiously.

Gu Jinghuai knew she had misunderstood when he heard his wife's voice, and said with a smile, "Of course I'm sober. If you don't believe me, check it out."

Just as Qin Zhizhi was about to ask how to check this, Gu Jinghuai pressed down on her lips.

When Qin Zhizhi discovered that she had been cheated, it was too late, and she could only be bullied by her own husband.

In the end, it was Gu Jingyao's knock on the door that rescued Qin Zhizhi. Seeing Qin Zhizhi fleeing out of the house in panic, Gu Jinghuai smiled even more happily.

Qin Zhizhi kept his head down while eating dinner. Mother Gu looked at him suspiciously for a few times, but seeing the smile on her son's face, she was sure that they were not quarreling.

After dinner, Qin Zhizhi hid in Gu's mother's house on the pretext of mending clothes.

Gu Jinghuai knew that Qin Zhizhi was shy, so he found a book and started reading it carefully.

Reading a book while waiting for his wife to come back, Gu Jinghuai felt that this was probably what happiness looked like.

He had never dared to imagine such a day before, but now he has it.

He also didn't expect that the girl who sweetly called him Brother Jinghuai when they first met would actually become his wife.
