Pang walked in with her four little children. When she saw the wine cups on the table, she smiled as if she had just realized something and said to Ning Huan, "I told you I smelled wine. You little rascal, you tried to fool your mother!"
Ning Huan said with a smile, "Mother, I brewed a new kind of wine, and I originally wanted to surprise you. If you guessed it so easily, then all my preparations would have been for nothing."
The four little ones looked at the wine glasses on the table, and the third child asked curiously, "What does this wine taste like? Can I try some?"
Little Erbao leaned in and smelled it, finding the aroma very fragrant: "Wow, Mommy, this wine smells so good, can we drink it too?"
Ning Huan patted the two little ones' heads and said softly, "This wine isn't for you. You'll get drunk and feel unwell if you drink it. How about Mom makes you sweet rice wine later?"
The four little ones were a bit hesitant when they heard this, but when Ning Huan said she would make rice wine for them in the future, they nodded happily.
Pang ate two bites of food and then took a sip of wine.
The taste of this wine seems similar to the wine she brewed before, but upon closer tasting, it has a unique, refreshing aroma.
The texture is smooth and mellow upon first taste, but with a refreshing aftertaste, a unique flavor that surprised Pang Shi.
"Huanhuan, how did you brew this wine? It tastes so good!"
Ning Liang also took a sip. The wine tasted even better than he had imagined, and it seemed to have a stronger flavor than the wine he had made at home before.
Upon hearing Pang's words, Zhou Jing'an also took a small sip.
He has never been a heavy drinker, so he doesn't drink much.
Even though he had visited many wealthy classmates' homes and tasted many different kinds of wine, including quite a few expensive ones.
Ning Huan's wine was indeed very unique. Although he knew it must be very strong, he still took a second sip.
Zhou Jing'an found the sweet taste of the wine quite special: "What did you use to brew this wine? How come it tastes so unique?"
Ning Huan was surprised that Zhou Jing'an was also interested in her wine, and replied, "I specially added shepherd's purse to this wine."
"Shepherd's purse?"
Before Zhou Jing'an could even ask, Ning Liang scoffed, "Hey sis, have you gotten used to picking wild vegetables in the mountains? This shepherd's purse is a vegetable we eat, how could you put it in the wine?"
Pang tugged at Ning Liang, then rolled her eyes at him, signaling him to tone down his words.
Then she comforted Ning Huan, saying, "Daughter, although your brother's words were harsh, he wasn't wrong. We use shepherd's purse to stir-fry and eat, how can we use it to make wine?"
"Besides, wouldn't this dish have gone bad long ago if we put it in wine?"
Ning Huan smiled helplessly: "Mother, this wine really was brewed with shepherd's purse."
Madam Pang didn't respond, but said, "Huanhuan, if you don't want to tell your mother, just tell me how you made it. I won't blame you, but you can't lie to your mother."
Zhou Jing'an said, "This wine has a faint scent of shepherd's purse, though I can still smell it."
He looked at Ning Huan: "Presumably, there is indeed shepherd's purse in this wine, but... it may not be as simple as Mother and Brother think."
Ning Liang raised an eyebrow. Upon hearing Zhou Jing'an's words, he quickly and carefully sniffed the wine in his glass.
Surprisingly, it really does taste like shepherd's purse, only the flavor is faint and the strong aroma of wine masks it.
Madam Pang was somewhat surprised. Just as she was about to speak, Ning Huan explained, "Mother, I really did put in shepherd's purse. I will definitely not hide how this wine was made from you. Because this wine is for you."
Upon hearing this, Madam Pang asked in confusion, "For me?"
Ning Huan nodded: "Yes. Mother said the family's liquor business wasn't doing well, so I specifically came up with this brewing method. I was thinking of giving Mother a surprise after it was done, but I didn't expect it to upset her..."
Madam Pang's eyes reddened with emotion, and she shook her head, saying, "Mother is not unhappy. It is Mother's fault. I should not have doubted your feelings for me."
Ning Huan poured another cup of wine for Madam Pang and said, "Mother, you've agreed that even if you're not unhappy, you can't shed tears. Otherwise, if others find out, they'll think I'm bullying my own mother."
Hearing Ning Huan's teasing words, Madam Pang laughed out loud: "Alright, alright, Mother promises you, Mother won't shed a tear."
The four little ones knew they couldn't drink alcohol, so they didn't make a fuss about it. They just ate their food obediently, and it seemed like the food tasted better than usual, if it was just their imagination.
Could it be that Mother wanted to make up for the fact that they couldn't drink the fragrant wine with her?
Thinking of this, the second child ate his food even more happily. Looking at the third child, whose cheeks were already full of food, the second child laughed out loud: "Daddy, Mommy, Grandma, Uncle, look at the third child's face, it looks like a meat bun!"
Zhou Jing'an and Ning Huan looked towards Xiao Sanbao in the direction of the voice and immediately burst into laughter.
The little three babies look just like little hamsters, with their cheeks bulging out, they're incredibly cute.
Although it looked cute, Ning Huan said, "Little Sanbao, although we eat because we are hungry and the food is delicious, we can't stuff the food into our mouths like this."
Little Erbao asked, "Why?"
Ning Huan said, "Because you won't be able to swallow it like that, and the rice grains will make you choke, which could be life-threatening. It's not good to put so much food in your mouth at once."
Little Sibao nodded: "Mother is right, and it's really not pretty like this."
Hearing this, Xiao Sanbao hurriedly tried to swallow his food, but in his haste, he choked on the rice grains. Now, coughing, Xiao Sanbao knew that all the rice in his mouth would come out.
Thinking that his mother would definitely be angry, Xiao Sanbao immediately tried to suppress his cough.
But the rice grains in his throat made him very uncomfortable, and he couldn't hold it in. He wanted to cover his mouth with his hand.
The next second, Xiao Sanbao coughed violently, spitting out a mouthful of food. In an instant, Xiao Sanbao's face turned bright red, followed by a violent cough.
Everyone's expression changed instantly. Pang Shi and Ning Liang rushed over, and Da Bao, Xiao Er Bao, and Xiao Si Bao also hurriedly came over: "Xiao San Bao, what's wrong?"
Pang asked worriedly, "My dear grandson, what's wrong with you?"
Ning Huan quickly said, "Mom, please move aside. Xiao Sanbao is choking. Give him some space, or he won't be able to breathe."
Because Xiao Sanbao needs to breathe deeply, and the Pang family members surrounded him in a small circle, he would not have enough oxygen and would have difficulty breathing.
