Chapter 443 Siheyuan Celebration Banquet
In the evening, the Siheyuan was brightly lit.
"Cheers!" Hu Jianye raised a glass of juice and said loudly: "Congratulations to my mother for beating everyone else and winning the first place in the first friendly match!"
Hu Deyi echoed: "Don't you see whose wife it is? If it were you, I would say that all of you, except Anzi and Xiaoduan, need to practice."
"Yes, yes, yes," Wang Hu nodded repeatedly, "Godfather is right, we should practice more if we are not good, but today is Godmother's celebration banquet, everyone can eat and drink as much as they want, and don't leave until they are drunk!"
Zhang Wenqian hurriedly stopped him with a smile: "You drink your own, children are not allowed to drink."
The youngest here are Liu Jianan and Hu Jianye.
Hu Jianye curled his lips and said, "Mom, I'm an adult now, what's wrong with drinking a little? Besides, the wines that Brother Duan brought are all foreign wines, and their alcohol content is not as high as the rice wine in Longcheng, so they won't make people drunk."
He also frequently signaled to Liu Jianan and Duan Haiping, asking them to help him speak up.
Liu Jianan did not do what he expected and said, "Who said that foreign wine has a low alcohol content? Old Hu, I think you look down on foreign wine because you are arrogant. If you drink it, you will die."
Duan Haiping brought all aged red wines, which are of great collection value.
According to him, these red wines are stored in his red wine cabinet all year round, and it would be a waste if they are not drunk.
He took a quick look at some of the wines, such as the vintage Le Flor Musigny Grand Cru and the Chateau Conti Grand Cru, which he had never heard of before. He
was not afraid of being laughed at by others, because the only high-end wine brand he had heard of was the 1982 Lafite.
Hu Deyi held up the wine and looked at it carefully: "Duan Zi, what is the name of this wine? It's all in foreign words, and I can't understand it."
Duan Haiping took the bottle of red wine, opened it skillfully with a corkscrew, poured it into the decanter, and turned it around before pouring it into Hu Deyi's glass.
"It doesn't matter what it's called, as long as it can be tasted by you, it's used to its full potential." Duan Haiping said.
Hu Deyi felt comfortable listening to this, and raised the glass and poured it into his mouth.
Zhang Wen Qian said with disgust: "Look at you, you are simply wasting such good wine. You should savor red wine slowly, not guzzle it like you do beer."
Hu Deyi felt a little depressed after being lectured by his wife.
Duan Haiping came to Hu Deyi's rescue at the right time and said, "Damn it, wine is for people to drink, whether it is red wine or white wine, beer or cooking wine, whether it is sipped or drunk, I think as long as it brings happiness to people, it doesn't matter whether the other person drinks it in the right way."
He also poured a glass of red wine for Zhang Wenqian: "Try it."
Zhang Wenqian took the glass flattered: "Thank you."
"We are a family, no need to be so polite." Duan Haiping sat back in his seat and continued to peel the big crab for Liu Zhenan.
He did not have the airs of a high-ranking official, which made everyone feel relieved.
In fact, since arriving in Kyoto and living in the residence arranged by Duan Haiping, everyone felt a little embarrassed.
They were afraid that they would become a burden to Liu Jianan, and be regarded as parasites by Duan Haiping, and eat and take away everything in Kyoto.
Although Duan Haiping might be willing to provide them with all this, Liu Jianan never looked down on them for this.
People have dignity, not to mention that they are kind-hearted and have never thought of taking advantage of others.
Because of this, they are more worried that their existence will bring the slightest inconvenience to Liu Jianan and Duan Haiping.
But now it seems that Duan Haiping completely treats them as his own family, and does not show the slightest reluctance.
This makes them put down a big stone in their hearts invisibly.
Liu Jianan lives with them day and night, how can he not know what his companions are thinking.
They are always so simple and lovely, and they can't hide their thoughts at all, and nothing can escape Liu Jianan's eyes.
"Today, everyone is gathered together, and I have something to say in advance." Liu Jianan stood up and glanced at everyone present.
"Boss, just say whatever you want to say, we are all listening!" Zhao Tiezhu put down his chopsticks and sat upright.
Liu Jianan cleared his throat and continued, "We have come all the way from Yuncheng to Kyoto and have experienced many ups and downs to get to where we are today. I think we are already friends for life and death, friends for life and death. Even if we are not related by blood, in my opinion, we are as close as a family."
"Duan Haiping is my fiancé, and he will be my family in the future. Isn't it normal for family members to help each other?"
"I know that everyone has just arrived in Kyoto and may not be able to adapt in all aspects. We have experienced so many battles along the way, and we must be unmotivated when we suddenly have free time."
"But I hope everyone will cherish this hard-earned rest time, because after the friendly match, everyone in our team will be noticed by the military."
"As Old Hu said, with our strength, it will be difficult to keep a low profile."
Hearing this and feeling everyone's eyes, Hu Jianye grinned: "I'm telling the truth!"
"Of course it's the truth!" Liu Jianan nodded, "We are strong, there is no doubt about that. And we will be stronger in the future. We will continue to shine in the military, grow bigger and stronger, and create greater glory!"
Wang Hu applauded: "Everyone applaud!"
Even Duan Haiping followed suit and clapped foolishly.
Liu Jianan couldn't help laughing and made a sign of retracting his hand: "What I want to say is that everyone should be prepared to face new challenges. In addition, Lao Hu's betting in the underground casino today reminded me that everyone's funds have been stored in my purple gold gourd."
As he said, he put the purple gold gourd on his chest into his hand: "Now that everyone has their own house, it's time to return the things you have deposited with me."
Huang Dabai was worried "Boss, you gave us the things, you don't want to break up with us, right? That's not possible, once you are the boss, you are the boss for life, you can't abandon us."
Liu Jianan laughed and said, "What are you thinking, I just gave you the things that you deserve. I am not a bank, I can't collect interest if you keep the things here, it's better to put them in your own hands and let you manage them by yourself."
