Guo Yuxi understood immediately; it was simply that the target audience for baijiu (Chinese liquor) was mostly middle-aged and elderly men.

When a man reaches this age, what he cares about most may not be his career, but he definitely values ​​his children's filial piety the most.

Linking filial piety with liquor...

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant!

After dealing with all these matters, it was already the end of the year.

Greenery Yongjiu is currently doing very well, and the distillery is extremely busy every day, especially as the end of the year approaches, the volume of baijiu shipments is even greater.

Guo Yuxi called home early on, saying he wouldn't be going home for the New Year.

Li Xiangdong wasn't in a hurry to return to Lijiapo.

Ning Ruoruo was kept behind by her supervisor to do experiments again this year, and it was already a miracle that she could sneak out for a meal on New Year's Eve.

The two of them are usually busy with their own things, and they can only talk on the phone occasionally when they have some free time.

Li Xiangdong specially bought Ning Ruoruo a mobile phone and topped up the credit so that the two could easily contact each other.

However, even when the two of them were making a phone call, they were often interrupted.

Once, the two had only been talking for a short while when someone from the lab called out to Ning Ruoruo, "Senior, the centrifuge has stopped. You'd better take your test tubes away quickly!"

Ning Ruoruo didn't even have time to say goodbye to Li Xiangdong before she hurriedly hung up the phone and left.

She has to do experiments, and biological experiments are the most time-consuming. Sometimes she has to stare at an experiment all day and all night without being able to leave.

When Ning Ruoruo has free time, she also writes letters to Li Xiangdong.

Li Xiangdong and Ning Ruoruo both really liked this primitive and slow way of communicating.

Writing letters seems to have a particularly romantic yet formal quality.

Ning Ruoruo wrote that the magnolias in front of the school's chemistry building had bloomed, and their fragrance wafted into their laboratory building.

She liked to go to see the magnolias at dusk, and she would pick up the fallen magnolia petals, make them into bookmarks, and send them to Li Xiangdong.

The lilacs in front of their laboratory building were in bloom, some purple and some white, and the undergraduate girls liked to go into the lilac bushes to find the five-petaled lilacs.

It is said that five-petaled lilacs are extremely rare, and wishes made in front of them are very effective.

Once, a junior female student was excitedly making a wish when the teacher saw her and said, "This is just a genetic mutation that manifests different traits. You, a biology student, actually believe in this?"

The junior female student immediately pouted and looked like she was about to cry. The straight male teacher was so frightened by the student's appearance that he immediately ran away.

She described the sycamore tree outside her lab window, from its bare state to its vibrant purple blossoms, and then to the loss of all its purple flowers and the emergence of lush green leaves—none of the seeds she had induced had sprouted...

As the snow fell, she looked out the window at the snow. Downstairs, someone had built a snowman, wearing a hat, with a broom stuck in it, and a carrot nose—it was especially beautiful…

Li Xiangdong would carefully keep every letter he received and then reply to her.

Bamboo shoots from western Sichuan, mushrooms from southern Yunnan, seafood from Daishan, and wild fruits from Changbai Mountain—no matter where he goes, Li Xiangdong always makes it a habit to send them to Ning Ruoruo as soon as possible.

He was very generous; he never sent things just for Ning Ruoruo alone, but always in a large package.

Therefore, although Ning Ruoruo has the title of academic goddess, Li Xiangdong, as the goddess's boyfriend, surprisingly did not arouse the jealousy of Ning Ruoruo's many junior brothers and sisters.

They all adored their generous future brother-in-law. Sometimes, they would even casually mention to Ning Ruoruo, "Hey, the cherries in Yantai should be ripe by now, right? Does our brother-in-law like them?"

As a result, they were able to receive dozens of kilograms of Yantai cherries very quickly.

Of course, some people had other ideas.

Anyway, Ning Ruoruo spends all her time in the lab and rarely sees Li Xiangdong, so he doesn't believe there's any wall that can't be pried open or soil that can't be loosened!

But the final result, of course, was that the corner of the wall was made of cast iron, and the soil was poured with molten copper; he couldn't budge it an inch.

That day, Li Xiangdong was sleeping at Luo Yonggang's house when he was suddenly awakened by a loud barking.

No one was home in the Luo family; the whole family had gone to the market.

The room was quiet. Li Xiangdong looked out through the glass window and saw that Black Tiger's son, Tianba, and a small, jet-black hunting dog were barking wildly at the door.

Li Xiangdong squinted, as if he could vaguely see something black and white moving outside the crack in the door.

A sudden thought struck him: Could it be...?

Li Xiangdong jumped up excitedly, hurriedly put on his clothes, and ran outside.

Upon seeing Li Xiangdong come out, Tianba became even more excited. He quickly ran to Li Xiangdong, grabbed his trouser leg, and barked, indicating that there was danger outside the door.

As Li Xiangdong approached, the commotion outside the door grew even louder.

A moment later, a familiar "baa" sound reached Li Xiangdong's ears.

"Get out!"

It was the cry of the giant panda he rescued a few years ago!

Li Xiangdong gestured for Tianba to be quiet, then picked up a shovel and carefully walked to the door, peering through the crack to observe the situation outside.

"Meow~ Meow~"

A black and white panda was squatting outside the door, scratching incessantly at the metal gate with its two paws.

Who else could this be but a panda!

It has pretty little bird eyes, tiny, brush-like feathers, a round, plump face, and only the feathers around its rump are...

It's a bit dirty.

However, considering they live in the wild, traversing mountains and rivers, crawling and rolling around, it's already quite remarkable that they can maintain this state.

Li Xiangdong gently opened the door a crack, revealing half of his face, and said, "Get out!"

Upon hearing his voice, Gun Gun became excited, immediately stood up, placed his hands on the iron gate, and responded to Li Xiangdong.

As soon as Gun Gun stood up, Li Xiangdong realized that there were two panda cubs sitting next to it!

It has a pretty, fluffy face like a panda, big eyes, and is especially cute, like a doll.

Li Xiangdong opened the door a little wider, but not completely.

Pandas are wild animals after all, so he needed to first determine whether the pandas still recognized him and whether they would hurt him.

The result was very good.

Gun Gun affectionately reached its hand through the crack in the door to touch Li Xiangdong, but its claws were completely retracted.

Li Xiangdong placed his hand on Gun Gun's paw, stroking its soft yet slightly stiff fur, and asked happily, "Gun Gun, I haven't seen you in all these years! Are these two little pandas your cubs?"

As if he understood what he was saying, Gun Gun actually nodded.

Li Xiangdong was overjoyed and quickly opened the large iron gate, letting Gun Gun, his mother, and their two children into the yard.

Black Tiger and Black Panther clearly recognized Gun Gun. When Gun Gun came in, they didn't react at all; they just changed their position and continued to sleep.

Only Tianba reacted violently. It arched its body, its fur stood on end, and its eyes were fixed on Gun Gun. It also let out a low growl from time to time.

Gun Gun walked slowly, completely ignoring Tian Ba. However, the two little panda cubs behind Gun Gun seemed a bit scared, their little black eyes darting around, too afraid to enter the yard.
