"Stop talking and eat, eat!"
Since it was a rare occasion for his father-in-law to visit, Xiao Ran took out the only bottle of liquor he had at home.
He didn't take anything with him when he moved, except for this bottle of wine, which he couldn't bear to throw away.
I bought this when I was traveling with other authors when I first started writing my book.
Although it's not a particularly expensive wine, it is a bottle of wine with great commemorative significance.
He placed the wine in front of Yan's father.
"It's not a very good wine, but please make do with it."
The color of this wine is somewhat different from the others.
It's not a transparent color, but rather a slightly yellowish one.
Generally speaking, wines like this are quite old.
You should know that Yan's father loved to drink when he was young, so he knows a little about these things.
He picked up the bottle and looked at the production date, and what he saw surprised him greatly.
"Wow, this is aged wine!"
The manufacturing date is clearly printed on it: January 8, 2014.
It's 2023 now, nine years have passed!
This is truly a rare find!
"Speaking of which, I bought this before I graduated from university, it's been as long as I've been writing," Xiao Ran said with a smile.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, how fast time flies, nine years have passed in the blink of an eye.
"You've persisted for nine years, you're a man of perseverance." Dad Yan nodded.
He was right about him!
You know, how many nine-year periods does a person have?
It is indeed very difficult.
"But he's made it through the tough times, and now Xiao Ran has a bright future ahead of him!" Aunt Yan couldn't help but praise.
She couldn't help but feel proud whenever she thought about Xiao Ran's career.
author!
As an elderly person who doesn't read online novels, in her mind, the author has always been synonymous with scholarship.
What a great job!
It really brings honor to myself!
Xiao Ran smiled and said, "Let's eat first. It's a rare occasion for us to come here, and Xi Ci cooked this for you herself. Please have a taste."
Upon hearing this, Yan Xici, who was sitting next to him, immediately gave him a grateful look.
As expected, Brother Xiao Ran cherishes his hard-earned results the most.
True love conquers all!
Yan's father didn't stand on ceremony and poured himself a glass after unscrewing the bottle.
After all, this is aged wine, and today is a rare happy occasion, so it would really be a shame not to have a drink.
He raised his glass, which was filled with wine. "Here, this glass is to wish you a happy move. It's a belated blessing, but it's better than nothing."
Yan's mother was unusually happy today.
His eyes and brows were filled with an undisguised joy.
"Don't just keep drinking, I want to have some too."
She doesn't usually drink, but she was really happy today, so she wanted to have a little to celebrate.
"Okay, then you should have some too."
After saying that, Dad Yan smiled and poured Mom Yan a glass as well.
After all, baijiu has a high alcohol content, and Yan Xici, who is still in college, really doesn't dare to drink it.
I finally managed to cook such a big meal, and I really wanted to eat a few more bites. It would be so embarrassing if I drank too much!
She decisively picked up the juice bottle next to her.
I originally wanted to wish her and Xiao Ran all the best.
After thinking about it, I felt it wasn't appropriate.
I promptly changed it to, "Wishing us all better and better days ahead!"
Xiao Ran knew he had to take the elderly couple home soon, so he didn't dare drink alcohol and instead picked up a juice.
The family clinked glasses.
Yan Xici smiled and put some fish in her mother's bowl, and also put some in her father's bowl.
"Try it and see how it tastes."
Seeing her happy expression, Xiao Ran couldn't help but feel happy too.
He placed a piece of pork rib in Yan Xici's bowl, his eyes full of affection.
"You should try it too, and see how it tastes."
I've been busy all morning, it's really been tiring.
Upon hearing this, the elderly couple's smiles widened even more.
Although the girl understood the joke in Xiao Ran's words, she wasn't angry. She reached out and picked up a piece of ribbonfish, placing it in Xiao Ran's bowl.
"This, this is your favorite food, you should try it too."
Although it's just two simple sentences, it's enough to show how good their relationship is now.
If things continue like this, Yan Xici might have a baby before she even graduates from university!
Parents naturally see the joy in having two children and are happy about it.
Yan's father poured himself another glass of wine.
He drank it all in one gulp.
Then he looked over to Yan's mother beside him and asked, "Did you bring what I asked you to get?"
"Of course I brought it."
How could I possibly forget something so important?
After she finished speaking, she hurriedly put down her chopsticks, turned around, and took out a red, rectangular box from her bag.
"Isn't that right?"
Upon seeing the box, Yan Xici's watery eyes immediately flashed with surprise.
As a daughter of the Yan family, she naturally knew what it was.
Isn't this the most treasured calligraphy brush in my dad's house?
My dad says this tradition has been passed down for generations!
Back in the day, I even got a beating for secretly playing with this pen.
Now that it's in my hands, I can do whatever I want with it.
Did you bring it here today to pass it on to yourself?
