Chapter 55 I Drink for Her



Director Lu was a little embarrassed, and the other cadres had different expressions.

Although they were all unhappy that Accountant Ren was making things so difficult for a little girl, Accountant Ren was really good at making trouble, and they didn't want to get into trouble themselves.

It seems that Bai Ying has to drink this glass of wine today.

Bai Ying took a deep breath and was about to pour the white wine into her mouth regardless of the consequences.

Suddenly, a hand reached out from the side and took her wine glass. Bai Ying turned her head to look and saw Chen Ao's thin lips pressed against the rim of the glass that she had just sipped, and he drank the liquor in the glass.

After drinking two glasses of strong liquor, even though Chen Ao has a strong alcohol tolerance, his ears turned a little red.

His expression remained unchanged as he continued, "Bai Ying is allergic to alcohol and can't drink. I'll drink for her."

Alcohol allergy?

That’s bullshit!

Everyone present didn't believe it. Although Bai Ying was very beautiful, she was not a delicate girl from the city. Farmers like them were all very rough and had never heard of any alcohol allergy.

Bai Ying also blinked.

What? Alcohol allergy? How come she doesn't know about it?

Except for accountant Ren, no one else made things difficult for Bai Ying and Shen Ao. Shen Ao introduced the farm cadres to Bai Ying one by one. Bai Ying knew that she would have to deal with them in the future on the farm, so she memorized their names and appearances one by one.

"I will have to trouble you leaders again when I live on the farm. If there is anything I do wrong, please feel free to point it out and I will definitely correct it!" Bai Ying smiled and looked well-behaved as she greeted them.

"Haha," Zhang Fang laughed happily. "Xiaobai is worthy of being a high school student. His words are so pleasant! He's not like some less educated people at all. Their words are even more pleasant than a cow's fart."

Accountant Ren: “…” Are you pointing at him?

He didn't have a high level of education, having only attended elementary school for a few years, which was enough to help him understand arithmetic. He was able to become the farm's accountant because his father was the previous accountant. Wasn't it because his father was in poor health, so he took over?

Because of this reason, he was often looked down upon by cadres, so he tried every means to be recognized by others.

After toasting with the people at this table, Chen Ao took Bai Ying to the next table and introduced her to the other party.

The most conspicuous person in the crowd was a tall and thin old man, probably in his fifties or sixties, wearing a pair of square glasses, with gray hair and elegant temperament. Even in his old age, he still looked handsome, which made you imagine how handsome he must have been when he was young.

"This is Mr. Chen."

Bai Ying nodded, "Hello, Mr. Chen."

When she looked at people, her eyes were pure, without any distractions or bad intentions. Old Chen knew at a glance that this was a kind-hearted, smart child who was not confused.

Elder Chen smiled gently and said, "It is a blessing for Chen Ao to marry a good girl like you."

Bai Ying subconsciously glanced at Chen Ao, and saw that he was staring at her. For a moment, her neck turned red and she felt a little embarrassed.

Chen Ao's Adam's apple rolled, and he felt a little thirsty for some reason, so he poured himself another glass of white wine to cool down.

Seeing this, Bai Ying showed a surprised expression.

Isn't this a toast? Why does Shen Ao look like he's competing in a drinking contest?

Chen Ao also realized that he had made a stupid move, so he turned away embarrassedly and continued to introduce other people to Bai Ying.

"This is Comrade Wang Jinyu."

Wang Jinyu is one of the few women among the transferred personnel.

She is also the youngest person at the table. She is tall and thin, with two pigtails, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and regular facial features. She looks very energetic. Even though her clothes are full of patches, they are still clean and tidy. She looks like a very particular person.

Although he looks only a few years older than Bai Ying, his temperament is much calmer than Bai Ying.

Wang Jinyu nodded towards Bai Ying, "Hello, Comrade Bai Ying."

Bai Ying asked curiously, "Comrade Wang, I see you're about my age, right?"

"I'm twenty years old."

"I'm two years younger than you. Can I call you Sister Jinyu?"

It's obvious that this person is very talented and upright. Bai Ying likes to be friends with people like him. Even if they are no longer friends in the future, there is no need to worry about them doing bad things in secret.

Bai Ying felt that it was necessary to make friends with Wang Jinyu. It seemed a bit difficult to find out about the farm from Chen Ao, who was a taciturn man. Asking too much would easily arouse suspicion. She might as well make friends with like-minded people on the farm. Wang Jinyu seemed to be very much to her liking.

"As you please."

Wang Jinyu is very easy-going.

Bai Ying was a little curious. Wang Jinyu looked like a highly educated person, and she had no idea why he was sent down to their remote little county.

Chen Ao then took Bai Ying to meet other people who were doing forced labor on the farm.

These people were not as eye-catching as Old Chen and Wang Jinyu. They looked listless and were only concerned with eating the meat and vegetables on the table. It was obvious that the relocation and reform had dealt a heavy blow to them, and the poor life on the farm had made them starve, fearing that they would not be able to grab some food.

Bai Ying watched with great sorrow.

These are all talented people from later generations, but now they live not much better than beggars.

They were all highly educated people, so naturally they would not like to join in the fun like the people from the countryside and do some vulgar wedding pranks. Everyone said some words to wish the couple a happy marriage, and the crowd dispersed after the meal.

Shen Ao was free from marriage, but they were not, as they still had work to do in the afternoon.

Zhao Dayong piled the dowry that Bai Ying brought into the cowshed where Shen Ao lived, and also tactfully led people away from the farm, leaving the space for the newlyweds Bai Ying and Shen Ao.

Bai Hongbing and Bai Shuangliang did not leave. They called Chen Ao aside to tell him something. Bai Ying had to organize the things she brought with her in the house.

After putting the earthen stove, spittoon, box and other items on the open space, Bai Ying moved two quilts and began to make the bed.

Chu Xianglan specially used new cotton wool for the bed and the quilt, which felt very fluffy and soft, and also had good warmth retention.

Soon, with Bai Ying's skillful hands, the originally simple single wooden bed immediately became warm.

Before Bai Ying had time to be happy, she suddenly realized a problem.

etc!

If they only have one bed, how will she and Shen Ao sleep at night?

——

Outside the cowshed.

"Shen Ao, right?"

Bai Hongbing stared at Chen Ao, who was slightly taller than him, and said with a stern face in order to establish his image as an elder brother-in-law: "Bai Ying has been ours since she was a child. If you dare to bully her, we will never forgive you!"

Shen Ao did not look down on the two men just because they were no match for him. He knew that they were both Bai Ying's relatives.

Since he is ready to live a good life with Bai Ying, Bai Ying's relatives are also his relatives.

In order to reassure the two, Chen Ao looked pious, as if he had made a solemn vow:

"Big Brother, Third Brother, I promise that as long as I am alive, I will take good care of Bai Ying and won't let anyone bully her!"
