Chapter 199 I Want to Drink Too

Why does everyone like that lazy, greedy, and always troublesome troublemaker?!

I'm clearly much better than her!!

Fortunately, everyone else was too busy having fun to notice her unusual emotions.

Ma Xiulian rubbed the fabric and exclaimed in surprise, "It's really thin and light!"

She had been thinking of buying fabric to make some summer clothes for her granddaughter, but the fabrics sold in the supply and marketing cooperative and department stores were all too thick and not breathable.

Chen Honghong boasted, "This fabric is in high demand; my mother-in-law only managed to buy two bolts. This one is small, and the color is delicate; my baby will definitely look very handsome in it. The other bolt can be used to make two more outfits, just enough for Changwen and Changwu to each have two outfits."

"Auntie! Aunt Jiang!"

At this moment, Helian Jiao and Gu Tingyun, who had been playing outside all afternoon, returned hand in hand.

Chen Honghong immediately picked up her little niece and exclaimed, "Wow, our darling looks so beautiful and stylish today!"

Chen Erbao, who was a step behind and a little slower, said, "Auntie, you're wrong. My good boy is very impressive and spirited today."

He praised his sister for being impressive and spirited today, and he got several pieces of beef jerky as a reward. He can still taste the beef jerky in his mouth now.

Helian Jiao proudly raised her chin to accept his praise, looking both smug and adorable, which made Chen Honghong's heart flutter.

So he nodded reluctantly but also very readily: "Yes! Our little darling is majestic and spirited!"

Chen Erni bit her lip, her eyes filled with jealousy and disdain: So fat, where's the imposing presence? Where's the swagger?!

When Da Ni saw this, she quickly said, "Er Ni, let's go to the kitchen to get the dishes."

She was afraid that her grandmother would see it and that her younger sister would get scolded.

When almost all the dishes were served, Gu Qingshan, who had specially gone home to get a bottle of baijiu, arrived: "Come on, let's men sit down and have a few drinks to liven things up."

Upon seeing that there was still wine to drink, the men of the Chen family's eyes lit up. Even Chen Dazhu's lips curled into a smile as he turned to his wife and said, "Old woman, go and fry some peanuts to go with the wine."

"become!"

Ma Xiulian nodded readily, and Zhao Mei immediately stood up and said, "I'll go."

The three Chen brothers were even happier now, as the last time they had eaten fried peanuts with wine was during the Chinese New Year last year.

After all, these days, alcohol is brewed from grains and isn't cheap. People in the countryside usually can't afford to buy it to drink.

Fried peanuts aren't something we can eat often; you need to use a lot of oil to get them fragrant, so it's something we would never dare to eat on a regular basis.

"I'll pour the wine." As the eldest son and the host, Chen Jianguo stood up and poured wine for everyone.

First it was his own father, then the guest, Director Gu, and then himself, his second and third brothers.

After turning it over once, just as I was about to sit down, I heard a soft, sweet little voice say, "I want to drink too."

He looked down and saw his little niece looking at him with her big, wet eyes, so he smiled and said, "Children shouldn't drink alcohol."

"It's drinkable."

Helian Jiao retorted in a delicate voice, her chubby little face filled with determination and longing.

In the past, when Big Bad Dragon drank alcohol, he would often give her a glass of it; it was sweet and sour and tasted delicious.

Chen Jianguo dismissed it as childish curiosity and simply sat down without paying any attention to her.

Ma Xiulian coaxed her granddaughter, "Sweetie, we won't drink alcohol. Alcohol doesn't taste good at all."

Chen Dazhu suddenly spoke up, "Baby, if you want to drink it, try a little."
