Chapter 270 It's Done
Although Ning Xiyue was drinking and eating peanuts, she was always paying attention to the movements at the door. When she saw the captain coming, she was relieved and shouted with a smile on her face: "Captain, the wine has been poured for you, waiting for you to drink."
"Here I am. I smelled the food from your place when I was in the kitchen. It made me so hungry."
When Zhang Dawei saw the wine on the table, his eyes widened. He quickly sat down, picked up the glass and drank it all. After satisfying his craving for wine, he picked up the chopsticks and picked up a peanut to eat.
Aunt Yang Liu watched him sit down like that, without bringing anything in her hands, and took the wine barrel on the table before him. She glared at him and said, "Why did you sit down like that? Where are your ears? How's the pot?"
"It's almost done. I've sealed the stove, so you don't have to watch the fire. Pour me a glass of wine. I'm getting hungry just by smelling it. I'll go back and make some after I finish this glass of wine."
Zhang Dawei didn't get the wine barrel, so he had to pick up his own wine glass and hand it to Aunt Yang Liu. He smiled ingratiatingly and stared at the wine barrel in her hand, waiting for her to pour the wine.
"Aunt, please pour another cup for Uncle Dawei." Ning Xiyue also spoke well of him, and then put the captain's bowl of wine lees fried eggs in front of him: "Uncle, why don't you try this wine lees fried eggs first, it's good for your health."
"Okay, thank you Yuewazi."
Zhang Dawei nodded and picked up the fried egg with fermented lees on the table and started eating, but his eyes would occasionally fall on the wine glass in front of Aunt Yang Liu.
"Okay, I'll pour you some. You should drink slowly and savor it carefully. Don't drink like an old ox, taking a big gulp at a time. That would be a waste of the good wine Xiyue brought."
Aunt Yang Liu felt very distressed and poured him wine carefully, fearing that even a drop would spill. This wine was brewed with fine glutinous rice, and it would be a pity to waste even a drop.
"Okay, I'll drink it slowly, savor it carefully, and make sure not to waste it. Fill it up."
Zhang Dawei finished the food in the bowl in a few bites, put the bowl down, picked up the glass of wine with satisfaction, and took a sip.
Aunt Yang Liu watched him finish the glass of wine, and said calmly, "Since you drank Xiyue's wine, you have to do Xiyue a small favor."
"Xiyue, don't worry. I will ask your uncle Dawei to agree to this matter for you." Aunt Yang Liu looked at Ning Xiyue and smiled gently again.
Ning Xiyue was surprised for a second. She really didn't expect her aunt to be so direct.
“Ahem…”
Zhang Dawei had a mouthful of wine stuck in his throat and was choked by the sudden sound.
"You're such a grown-up, but you can still choke when drinking." Aunt Yang Liu helped the captain to stroke his back with a look of disdain.
Ning Xiyue handed over a glass of water.
"Yuewazi, if you have any problem, tell Uncle Dawei. I will definitely help you if I can." Zhang Dawei recovered his breath, sat down, and looked at Ning Xiyue seriously.
He knew that there was no free lunch in the world. Fortunately, this kid always knew his limits. The fact that his wife agreed to it in advance showed that it was not a big deal, so he had nothing to worry about.
This sentence came out when he was drinking, which surprised him a little. It was the first time he choked while drinking, so he was quite successful.
When Aunt Yang Liu heard this, she knew it was settled. She gave Ning Xiyue a look and got up to go to the kitchen to check the fire and the pig ears in the pot.
Ning Xiyue told the captain everything about her second brother. The captain listened very carefully. After a moment's silence, he said, "Show me the acceptance certificate you wrote."
Ning Xiyue had already put her hand in her bag holding the acceptance certificate. When she heard the captain's words, she immediately took out the papers from her bag and handed them to the captain with both hands. At the same time, she also took the letterhead paper and pen in her hands for later use.
"Don't worry, we have already obtained the consent of the town's Youth League Office. You just need to hand in the acceptance certificate."
After reading it, the captain said nothing else and stretched out his hand in front of Ning Xiyue: "Give me the pen and notebook, don't delay me from drinking."
"Hey." Ning Xiyue responded hurriedly, put the pen in the captain's hand with one hand, put the opened letter book in front of the captain with the other hand, and said with a smile: "Thank you, captain."
"You're welcome. This is normal procedure and what I should do."
Zhang Dawei took a pen and copied it, making appropriate changes to the inappropriate parts. After writing, he signed his name and put it in his bag.
He picked up a peanut with chopsticks, looked at Ning Xiyue and said, "After lunch, follow me to the team to get the stamp."
"Okay." Ning Xiyue took the wine barrel and filled the captain's glass with wine: "Uncle Dawei, drink."
"Pig ears are here." Aunt Yang Liu came over with a plate of cured pig ears. "Pig ears are a perfect match for wine. Xiyue, you have to taste them."
"Okay, Auntie, please sit down too, let's have a good drink."
Ning Xiyue filled everyone's glasses and raised them heroically. Now half of the work was done and the other half was a foregone conclusion. She was in an extremely good mood.
Aunt Yang Liu couldn't wait to sit down, picked up her glass and clinked glasses with everyone: "Come on, drink."
Although Ning Xiyue is a generation younger than the two, the three of them sitting together drinking are extremely harmonious, and the lively atmosphere does not seem out of place at all.
Although Aunt Yang Liu and the captain loved wine, they didn't drink much during the meal. They both loved wine very much, so they only guzzled a few glasses at the beginning to satisfy their cravings, and then sipped it bit by bit afterwards.
The wine glass, which was about two centimeters in diameter, could only hold one mouthful of wine at most. They drank for a long time and in the end, the two kilograms of wine that Ning Xiyue brought were not finished. It was estimated that after two hours, the three of them drank a total of one kilogram and two ounces of wine, with an average of four ounces per person.
The three of them drank just the right amount, which was enough to replenish their body. They didn't get drunk but it satisfied their appetite, and it was also good for their health.
Ning Xiyue left the remaining wine to Aunt Yang Liu, so that she could have a drink before going to bed every night.
Aunt Yang Liu carefully picked up the wine barrels and started to shoo people away after dinner: "Okay, go to the team to stamp your stamps and stop hanging around here. I'll clean up the dishes."
Her aunt is really good to her and always cares about her.
"Thank you, auntie." Ning Xiyue said thank you silently and followed the captain happily to the team stamp.
When the captain took out the seal to stamp, Ning Xiyue stood by and watched him press the seal into the ink. She felt inexplicably nervous. Seeing him pressing it again and again, it was like pressing on her heart, making her nerves even more tense.
When the captain finally stopped using ink, he picked up the seal and pressed it hard on the letter of acceptance written on the dining table, leaving a stamp. The bright red seal fell on it, and then the seal was released and returned to its original position.
Her heart also dropped and relaxed with that movement, her nerves completely relaxed, and a bright smile appeared on her face.
The captain waited for the ink on the paper to dry before handing her the certificate, and said jokingly, "Keep it. If you lose it, I won't write another one for you."
"Got it, thank you, Captain. You are the best captain in my mind."
Ning Xiyue looked at the acceptance letter again and again, and did not forget to flatter the captain, which made the captain laugh.
It’s done!
At this time, a strange middle-aged man knocked on the door and shouted with a smile: "Lao Zhang, are you busy? I have something to talk to you about."
