My mouth was watering, but I hadn't even tasted a bite yet.
With the eldest sister-in-law also arriving, the Zhou family finally began their meal.
Four small bowls of wine were poured, and there was still a little more than half left in the jar.
"I don't know when we'll see each other again after you leave."
Brother Yu said with a sense of loss, then awkwardly raised his glass again, "When you go to Beijing, don't forget about us!"
Zhou Mingli chuckled, raised his wine bowl, and clinked it against Brother Yu's. "I won't forget."
The two took a sip. Brother Yu didn't know what the wine tasted like, and he drank quite a lot in one gulp, which made his face turn red from choking.
Sister-in-law Yu quickly poured him some water, "You're just showing off. Can you even drink alcohol?"
Brother Yu was quite stubborn, "It's alright! I think it tastes pretty good!"
If you don't look at his vacant eyes.
Dazhu and Erzhu ate the meat with gusto.
Zhou Miao and Zhou Yang looked curiously at their parents on the left and at Uncle Yu on the right.
Adults are really strange.
Instead of eating such delicious meat, they drink alcohol.
Can wine taste better than meat?
The two children lowered their heads in unison and took a big bite of the stir-fried chives and river shrimp sandwich.
Jiang Ci glanced at the sorghum liquor in front of her, raised an eyebrow, and asked Zhou Mingli, "Is it good?"
Zhou Mingli remained expressionless. "Not bad."
This kind of baijiu, brewed only once a year, is definitely not as good as the sauce-flavored kind.
Jiang Ci then took a sip as well.
It's both spicy and pungent.
Jiang Ci stopped drinking and poured the rest of the wine into Zhou Mingli's cup.
Zhou Mingli smiled and accepted it all.
Brother Yu seemed to be enjoying the drink, pulling Zhou Mingli aside to drink and chatter on and on.
Jiang Ci, meanwhile, was talking to Sister-in-law Yu about the future.
"Sister-in-law, you know how to cut hair, don't lose your skills. Things are changing so fast these days, who knows when the policy will be changed again and people will be able to do business on their own."
Sister-in-law Yu laughed heartily, "You really dare to dream! If I went out to do business, wouldn't I be labeled a capitalist?"
Jiang Ci laughed too, "Then the committee is gone, the town, the brigade, even the red armbands are gone, who's going to arrest people?"
"Haven't you seen some people in our village openly or secretly taking their eggs to town to sell?"
Upon hearing this, Sister-in-law Yu was momentarily speechless.
"There are also fish. The stone quarry needs fish. Zhou Mingli has already talked to Xiao Qu at the stone quarry. If you can catch any more fish, send them to them. They buy them all. Sister-in-law, your family are all hardworking people. You are good at farming and housework. But we should also learn some other skills."
"Brother Yu is only twenty-seven. Besides farming, he can do other things too, can't he?"
Jiang Ci patiently guided her, also observing Yu Dasao's expression.
Sister-in-law Yu grabbed Jiang Ci's hand, "Tell me, what should your older brother learn?"
Jiang Ci had already thought it through and said, "Drive."
"truck."
Brother Yu is a calm and composed person, and he is not impatient or irritable. As a truck driver, he will not have to worry about not having work for decades to come.
Sister-in-law Yu's eyes widened. "My Fugui can drive a truck?"
“You can learn it if you don’t know how.” Jiang Ci blinked.
Sister-in-law Yu was stunned.
Their family might not have the connections to get Brother Yu a driving lesson, but Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli could.
Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli had several connections in Zhongmo Town, so finding a place for Brother Yu to learn to drive was definitely feasible.
This kind of job is easy to find success anywhere.
Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli had already found a place for Brother Yu to learn to drive. They invited them to dinner today, partly because they were leaving Zhongmo Town, and partly to tell them this.
Jiang Ci gave Sister-in-law Yu a note, "Tomorrow you go to town and look for this place. They have a master there who can teach you."
Sister-in-law Yu was quick to respond; she nodded immediately, beaming with delight, "I really don't know how to thank you enough!"
Jiang Ci smiled and took her hand, "Why are you being so polite?"
The meal lasted until the moon was high in the sky.
Brother Yu was quite drunk, so Sister-in-law Yu and Dazhu helped him home first.
Jiang Ci glanced at Zhou Mingli, who was still sitting upright on the stool, and couldn't tell whether he was drunk or not.
She reached out and waved her hand in front of his eyes.
The person didn't move.
Jiang Ci was about to withdraw her hand when he suddenly grabbed it.
