Chapter 381 Daily Life of an Old Couple
Ye Beixiu opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by Manager Yao again.
"It's rare that we think alike again. Juexia, I've been drinking a lot today, and my mind is a little fuzzy. Let's go to the dental clinic together tomorrow."
"good!"
Zhang Juexia agreed readily.
She now has some money in her hands. Food is the most important thing for people. The more land she buys, the more grain she can harvest.
In short, there is more food at home, and I feel more at ease.
Seeing that they were all silent, Ye Beixiu told them what had happened to him in the dental clinic that morning.
"Actually, I just came back from the pawnshop, and they said they had no land to sell."
Shopkeeper Yao didn't believe what Ye Beixiu said. He thought that he bought too much and the pawnshop didn't have that much land at the moment, so he said that.
“How many acres do you plan to buy?”
Ye Beixiu glanced at Zhang Juexia and said, "We have yet to make a decision! I asked on behalf of my brother this morning."
"So how many acres does your brother plan to buy?"
"Two acres."
Shopkeeper Yao almost choked, "Which dental clinic did you go to?"
"It's at the end of our street."
"That dental clinic has always had a bad reputation. They must have thought that since you only bought two acres of land, the profit you could make wouldn't be that great, so they didn't want to worry about you.
We agreed that tomorrow I will take you to Zhou’s Dental Clinic on another street.
Not only does their service quality improve, but their commission is also reasonable.”
"good."
Two of them fell down during the meal. Both Zhang Juexia and Manager Yao were drunk.
Ye Beixiu was still conscious. He supported the staggering Zhang Juexia back to the backyard of his shop.
There is one benefit to Zhang Juexia drinking too much: he likes to sleep.
After Ye Beixiu sent her to bed, he planned to go to the kitchen to make her a bowl of sobering soup.
The maid from Manager Yao's family sent some over, so he was relieved.
He took great effort to wake Zhang Juexia up, and coaxed her to drink the sobering soup, but Zhang Juexia fell asleep again.
Ye Beixiu was worried, so he took a book and started reading in the room.
Half an hour later, Shopkeeper Li Xi came trotting over to him and said, "Boss, Shopkeeper Li Dong is here."
When Ye Beixiu heard Li Dong, he happily put down the book in his hand and said, "Brother Li Dong, it's been a while since we last met."
"How about I invite Shopkeeper Li to the backyard, and you two can chat there."
"good!"
Ye Beizheng was really happy to see Li Xi do this. Zhang Juexia had fallen asleep, and he would be worried if he let him go out.
Ye Beixiu covered Zhang Juexia with a quilt. Seeing that her forehead was sweaty, he wiped the sweat off her forehead and then went to the living room to wait for Li Dong.
As soon as Li Dong entered the room, he laughed and said loudly, "I just went on a long trip, and Brother Bei Xiu gave us such a big surprise!
Congratulations, congratulations! Our Ye Xiucai! "
Ye Beixiu responded modestly, "Thank you, Brother Li!"
Li Dong immediately wanted to pull Ye Beixiu out, "Come on, we brothers finally get to meet each other, I'll treat you to a party today and congratulate you.
If I had known you had passed the exam to become a military scholar, I would have returned from Qingling City earlier!"
“Brother Li, business is important, nothing else matters. I am also happy to see you today.
It's just that my wife is feeling unwell, so let's do the drinking some other day."
When Li Dong heard that Zhang Juexia was not feeling well, he asked a few questions with concern.
After listening to Ye Beixiu finish speaking, he said, "I was wondering, you are at home, but she is not at home, so she must be unwell.
Let’s put it this way, let’s make a deal. Tomorrow, at noon, I will book a banquet at Manager Wan’s place, and we’ll have a good drink.
It’s a good opportunity. I’d like to take this opportunity to introduce you to some friends.
I got to know all of these through your family's purse in Qingling City.
I heard about your business from the people at the Fulin Inn, and I'm telling you, we're not afraid. This time, I'll bring you a lot of customers."
Ye Beixiu bowed solemnly towards Li Dong, "Thank you so much, Brother Li."
"Don't be polite to me, we are good brothers.
In fact, I also know that your wife has the final say on all matters concerning your family's business.
But when it comes to drinking, we men have to do it, right?"
"Brother Li is right."
"Then let's settle this matter. I won't bother you anymore today."
Ye Beixiu sent Li Dong out the door, did not dare to stay for a moment, and hurried back home.
Zhang Juexia must have been tired, and because he had been drinking, he had been sleeping the whole time.
In the meantime, Ye Beixiu asked her to get up and drink water several times, but he still couldn't wake her up once or twice.
When Zhang Juexia woke up again, it was already the next morning.
She sat up dazedly, "It's getting dark, my husband, please turn on the light!"
Ye Beixiu stood up and put clothes on her. "My lady, you are really sleepy. It's already the next morning. It will be daybreak soon."
"I actually slept for such a long time. I will never drink again. Drinking is such a hassle.
Um, I didn't say anything nonsense yesterday, did I? "
Ye Beixiu teased Zhang Juexia intentionally. He looked at Zhang Juexia seriously with a stern face, "I said it, and it wasn't just a few words. I kept saying it!"
Zhang Juexia covered his ears in embarrassment. "I won't listen. I won't listen anymore. This is so embarrassing. What kind of wine did Manager Yao give me to drink? How could I get so drunk after just a few drinks?"
"How many?"
"Isn't it?"
"That depends on the size of the cup, right?"
Zhang Juexia waved his hand, "Forget it, I mean what I said. I will never drink again. Not only can I not do anything, but I also have amnesia and don't know anything."
"You can drink this wine, but you can't drink so much. Drinking too much will harm your health."
Zhang Juexia could tell that Ye Beixiu's words showed concern for her, and nodded very touchedly, "Thank you, husband, I understand this matter.
Did Manager Yao and I have any appointment yesterday?"
"Since you guys are going to the pawnshop, I won't be going. Brother Li Dong is back and said he brought some new clients with him. I'm going to Manfu Restaurant with him to meet these new clients."
"Brother Li Dong is really good. He always thinks of us when there is something good going on.
Let's treat you to this wine today!
Don’t let him spend any more money.”
"I understand, my lady. If you and Manager Yao come across a suitable piece of land, buy it!"
You can make your own decision on this matter, without consulting me."
"Is this okay? Buying land is a big deal. If I don't discuss it with you, wouldn't that be disrespectful to you?"
"You earn the money, so you can spend it however you want.
My lady, I am a man, I still have some tolerance."
Zhang Juexia smiled and responded, "Okay, I understand. Drink less alcohol and eat more vegetables at noon, but don't get drunk like me.
To be honest, being drunk is really unpleasant!"
Ye Beixiu lovingly scratched Zhang Juexia's nose with his hand, "Got it!"
