She was just about to speak up to decline on her brother's behalf.

Wen Siran has already said politely: "I can't stand up to pour for uncle, I'm afraid I have to trouble uncle."

"Okay, uncle will fill it up for you." Xu Fuqiang thought the young man would refuse.

He was scolded by his second brother's wife in the morning and felt very upset. He wanted to drink some wine to feel better. It would be even better if there was someone to drink with him.

He poured a glass of wine, handed it to the young man, then changed his dining position and sat next to Wen Siran.

"This is the ginseng my daughter bought for me. I specially used it to make wine for others. People say it is a good ginseng and can nourish the body." Xu Fuqiang raised his glass, "Come on, let's clink glasses."

Wen Siran picked up the wine glass, which was a little shorter than Xu Fuqiang's, and clinked glasses.

Xu Fuqiang took a sip and said to himself, "Shaha, this is the first time I've tasted this barrel of ginseng wine. It tastes much better than before and is very comfortable to drink."

Wen Siran drank half of it in one gulp. He hadn't touched alcohol for a long time, and he choked a little. His face turned red and he coughed twice.

"Brother, are you okay?" Wen Shanshan asked worriedly.

She could play and make noises as she pleased, but she would never dare to joke with her brother's life.

Wang Yanmei immediately blamed Xu Fuqiang and said, "Look at you, why do you have to give the child wine?"

"I'm fine, Auntie. I just wanted to try it because I was greedy." Wen Siran coughed a few times and his throat felt better. He then said to Xu Fuqiang, "After the incident, my family didn't allow me to touch these. I've been thinking about the smell of alcohol for a long time. I have to thank my uncle today."

Xu Fuqiang thought the wine tasted good, and when Wen Siran started coughing, he had already drunk a few glasses.

When he heard the young man mention the accident, he thought of the car accident that caused the other party to be unable to stand up. He felt a little sorry for the young man from the bottom of his heart, and patted his shoulder with his broad palm, and the courage of an elder emerged.

"As a man, you must be strong and bear it when something happens. You must not commit suicide. Do you understand? Don't do that in the future."

Wen Shanshan secretly took a breath.

Anyway, she didn't dare say this in front of her brother.

Ever since her brother got into trouble, everyone kept silent in front of him and never brought it up.

Wen Shanshan glanced at her brother cautiously, only to see that her brother didn't say anything and just nodded slightly.

Her brother was always good at hiding his inner thoughts, and she couldn't tell at this moment whether he was angry or not.

Xu Fuqiang had a dark yellow face with a hint of red in it. He said with emotion, "Qingzhi has no other advantages except that she has been strong since she was a child. I taught her that since she was a child. Later, others said that she was like a weed that could never be pulled out."

Xu Qingzhi, who was eating fried eggs with tomatoes, twitched his mouth twice.

She said very considerately: "Dad, don't just drink, eat some food."

Xu Fuqiang looked at his daughter and recalled: "Qingzhi, do you remember when you were in primary school, you rode your bicycle to school before dawn. At that time, the village had not yet built cement roads, and you couldn't ride up the uphill dirt road near the old house. You squatted in the middle of the slope and cried. I stood at the door and watched you from afar. When I saw you stopped on the slope, I quickly ran over to see you."

Xu Qingzhi didn’t remember this happening, but he still felt warm in his heart when he heard it.

Her parents did not go to work in a big city because they were worried about their two siblings at home and wanted to keep their children with them so they would feel more at ease.

Xu Fuqiang was drinking, his eyes were hazy as he recalled: "I knew you couldn't ride the bike, so you squatted there crying, and I scolded you."

Xu Qingzhi:?

Hmm, it seems a little too early to be moved.

Xu Fuqiang's tone suddenly slowed down as he spoke: "This is my first time being a father too, Qingzhi, don't blame me for always speaking harshly and impatiently to you when you were little. Dad was just thinking, what if you run into trouble in a place I can't see in the future, and you can't solve it yourself and hide and cry? What will you do?"

“So when you were little, every time you cried or encountered a problem that was not solved, your father would always tell you that you had to be strong and that you had to finish it.”

Wang Yanmei interrupted his chatter: "Okay, okay, my daughter has grown up, why are you still talking about these things? Aren't you afraid of making a fool of yourself in front of outsiders?"

"Yes, our Qingzhi has grown up." Xu Fuqiang looked at his daughter, the words that he had not yet finished saying turned in his mind, and were finally drowned in silence.

Wang Yanmei casually mentioned, "I went to help yesterday, and a matchmaker said he wanted to introduce you to a boy from Bajia Village. He graduated with a high degree, contracted several hundred acres of land, and specializes in growing pumpkins. Qingzhi, do you want to meet him?"

Xu Qingzhi spat out the chicken bone in his mouth.

Oh my god, it turns out the words were waiting for her here.

"No, Mom, I don't want to date." Xu Qingzhi refused decisively.

Wen Shanshan also said, "Auntie, Qingzhi is still young, don't worry."

Wen Siran pulled Wen Shanshan with his hand under the table.

This is someone else's family affair. Why do you, an outsider, have to interfere?

Wen Shanshan kept silent out of guilt. She just felt that there was no one in the world who was worthy of her idol yet. But she still didn't say what she was thinking, otherwise her brother would definitely scold her for being a crazy fan.

Wang Yanmei didn't mention it anymore and said with a smile: "Okay, let's not talk about it anymore, let's eat."

She pointed at a piece of meat in the chicken soup and said, "Shanshan's brother, you can eat this piece of chicken. It's not fat and has bones. The meat is very tender and tastes the best. This chicken soup made with Chinese medicine is very nutritious and good for your health."

"Thank you, Auntie." Wen Siran put the piece of chicken in the bowl, but he didn't eat it immediately.

He hadn't had a normal diet for a long time, so he would test his tolerance for food before eating.

If it is something that makes him want to vomit just by looking at it, he will not be able to swallow it, let alone swallow it.

The piece of chicken in front of me smells like the chicken itself, not fishy at all, and also has a smell of medicinal herbs, which is not unpleasant, but rather a refreshing fragrance.

Wen Shanshan kept secretly staring at her brother out of the corner of her eye.

After all, her brother hadn't eaten normally for a long time, let alone a piece of meat.

She stared at Wen Siran as he put the food into his mouth, counting silently in his heart, one second, two seconds, three seconds, and her brother lowered his head.

Are you going to vomit again?

I vomited it, it was a chicken bone.

Her brother's mouth moved twice, and his Adam's apple moved! He swallowed it! Wang Yanmei also knew that the young man could not eat much, so she asked expectantly: "I didn't add any oil to the chicken in this chicken soup. The oil is boiled out by the chicken itself. Shanshan's brother, how do you feel? Can you eat it?"

"Auntie, it's delicious. Your cooking skills are really good." Wen Siran had just eaten a piece of chicken, and his empty stomach was filled. He seemed to be a little interested in other dishes as well. He picked up water spinach, tomato and egg, eggplant and beans and tasted them just like a normal meal.

Wang Yanmei was happy to see that he could eat what she cooked.

After Wen Siran drank two glasses of wine, he declined to drink another one.

Xu Fuqiang didn't force it. More than a decade ago, a family in the village had an accident because of persuading others to drink. After that, persuading others to drink was no longer a practice in the village. If you want to drink, you drink. If you don't want to drink, you don't drink. There are not so many rules.

The person who enjoyed this lunch the most was Wen Shanshan.

When Wen Siran drank his first glass of wine, Wen Shanshan ate her first bowl of rice.

While Wen Siran was drinking his second glass of wine, Wen Shanshan was eating her second bowl of rice.

When Wen Siran started eating, Wen Shanshan had already finished her third bowl of rice.

Wen Siran finished eating. Wen Shanshan stood up to get the fourth bowl of rice, but was grabbed tightly by Wen Siran's hand hanging under the table.

Wen Shanshan could only put down her bowl and chopsticks in disappointment.

After this lunch, she was full again.
