Feeling guilty, Bao'er turned away from Zheng Ya's embrace and looked at the bewildered Xu Jingli, saying in a clear voice, "Sister Jingli, how about we go eat roast duck together?"
"Ah, well, my mother won't let me go!" Xu Jingli said pitifully, and she even cried at the end.
She originally thought that Bao'er, like her, did not have a father.
Now she realizes she was wrong. Why does Bao'er have a father, but she doesn't?
Every time I ask where my father went, my mother gets angry, so I don't dare to ask anymore.
Right now, she misses her father again, and tears well up in her eyes, but she holds them back from crying out loud.
Did you get into trouble?
Xu Qi glared at Zheng Ya with heartache, as if to say, "It's all your fault," but she had already stepped forward to greet him and said, "Jingli, you are Bao'er's older sister, you're a big girl now."
The older child should set a good example for their younger sister, right?
"Yes, I didn't cry!" Xu Jingli said with tears in her eyes, and Xu Qi hugged her and comforted her: "Okay, let's go eat roast duck with Auntie."
"How about we ask your mother to come along?"
"Really? Thank you so much, Auntie!" Xu Jingli smiled through her tears, feeling relieved and no longer missing her father.
In fact, her young heart had no trace of her father.
Some of them were scolded by the neighborhood children for not having a father, and that no father would ever take them to eat roast duck.
This became a scar on her young heart.
At this moment, she felt that being able to eat roast duck with Bao'er's father was the same as eating roast duck with her father, and her emotional scars were healed.
Children's world is so simple!
Zheng Ya naturally wouldn't object, and before he could even agree, Xu Huizhen burst into the backyard carrying a wine jar, followed by Cheng Xueru shouting and yelling, "Xu Huizhen, stop! Give me another sip, just one more sip..."
"Cheng Xueru, you're shameless! You want more after just one sip? No way!" Xu Huizhen was furious; this wine was far too precious!
She didn't know until she tasted it, and once she did, she was completely captivated. She marveled at the wonders of nature, how could a century-old vintage be so sweet? It was like heavenly nectar, and after just one sip, she never wanted to drink any other wine again.
Just one sip of wine, and the aroma of the wine permeated my entire body like an aroma enhancer, a warm and pleasant fragrance emanating from my pores, making me smell wonderful.
The key is that it can expel all hidden discomforts from the body, as if it has cured all the hidden ailments and diseases in the body, making people feel refreshed and as if they have been reborn. It is wonderful.
At this point, Xu Huizhen dared to say that no one in history had ever tasted this century-old vintage. She immediately guarded the wine jar as if it were her own life, refusing to give it to anyone else.
He even felt sorry for letting Cheng Xueru drink a glass of wine, which he felt was a waste.
Because she knew that Cheng Xueru drank for the thrill, trying to imitate men's hearty drinking style, and had no idea how to appreciate the true flavor of fine wine, she genuinely couldn't bear to let Cheng Xueru ruin the century-old vintage.
Zheng Ya watched the two women chasing each other in the courtyard and asked with a smile, "Boss lady, are you satisfied with this jar of wine?"
"Satisfied, very satisfied. You should take this extraordinary woman away now. Don't even think about this jar of wine..." Xu Huizhen was happy as long as she had the wine. She wasn't jealous and didn't care about him anymore.
Everyone has their own hobbies.
Xu Huizhen loved drinking; she was famously obsessed with it.
Encountering such a genuine century-old vintage is like helping Xu Huizhen find her other half!
You can imagine how much she loves drinking.
Zheng Ya laughed: "You don't mind if I give you this jar of wine as a return gift, along with that stone from the sauerkraut jar?"
"No objection. I wouldn't mind if you carried the sauerkraut jar away too. Go ahead and take it." Xu Huizhen circled the flower bed, trying to prevent Cheng Xueru from catching up with her to ask for a drink.
Cheng Xueru was also aroused by the century-old wine and desperately chased after it: "Huizhen, we're sisters, don't be so stingy."
They say when you meet someone, you should share half with them. Just give me a bite...
"Get out of here. Giving you wine would be a waste. I won't give it to you." Xu Huizhen really couldn't bear to part with it!
Zheng Ya couldn't stand it any longer and said through coughing, "Stop arguing, I still have quite a lot of this kind of wine in stock..."
"Ah, really? I'll buy as many as you have. Xu Huizhen, get out of my way! If you delay my wine purchase, I'll fight you to the death!" Cheng Xueru said seriously, her fierce eyes flashing.
It's like seeing a miraculous elixir that can grant immortality; you can't allow outsiders to covet it, otherwise you'll fight tooth and nail to protect it.
This made Xu Huizhen extremely eager, but she couldn't stop him or compete with him, otherwise she would lose her sisterly bond and wouldn't be able to bear the shame!
In business, treating people kindly is fundamental.
If a fight over alcohol leads to a reputation-damaging incident, it's tantamount to losing one's job!
If we're about to lose our jobs, how will we buy alcohol?
Xu Huizhen was clear about the situation. She suppressed the urge to fight for the wine and turned her head away from Zheng Ya, afraid that she would lose control and fight for the wine.
Zheng Ya smiled and said, "Boss Cheng, could you please sew a few sets of clothes for our family of three as soon as possible, and also make two sets of clothes for Jingli?"
I'll trade you a century-old vintage wine, what do you say?
"Alright, it's a deal, a promise is a promise. I'll make a coat for each of you first. Just tell me what style you want, and I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
Afterwards, I will personally sew three sets of inner and outer clothing for your family to wear in all four seasons.
"Bao'er is still young and will grow taller quickly. We'll sew her to adulthood according to her size..." Cheng Xueru became more and more enthusiastic as she spoke.
It seems they wouldn't be satisfied until they replaced all the century-old vintage wine stored in Zhengya.
Xu Huizhen interrupted anxiously, saying, "Cheng Xueru, this is no business practice."
Are you deliberately trying to prevent me from buying alcohol?
"Alright, stop arguing. This century-old vintage will be provided for the two of you to drink for ten years. It won't be exported. Are you satisfied now?" Zheng Ya, annoyed by their noise, directly ended their argument.
Xu Qi immediately enraged him: "Honey, don't talk big, those two are both good-for-nothings..."
"What an amazing woman! You can't be so disrespectful. What do you mean by 'good-for-nothing'?" Xu Huizhen laughed in exasperation. How can someone who can drink be called a good-for-nothing?
She was afraid that people would drink up all the wine in her house, and she was trying to protect them.
Xu Qi rolled her eyes in anger. Did she even need to say it?
Drinking alcohol like plain water, who can afford that?
The other Cheng Xueru wasn't much better; she was the kind of person who drank to relieve her anxiety and avoid thinking about men, and that felt good once she got drunk.
Fearing they would quarrel, Zheng Ya laughed and said, "Alright, our family doesn't have much aged wine, but we still have about 100,000 jin."
Let's go, I'll treat you to Peking duck at Quanjude.
But you're going to leave as soon as I take the jade from the sauerkraut jar?
"What? Jade? I didn't see that at all!" Xu Huizhen was dumbfounded. Why did she say that?
Wouldn't it be better to take it secretly and make a fortune quietly?
How can I take it back after you've told me?
If you don't take it, you'll lose a fortune!
It was such a loss that I cried my eyes out!
Xu Qi found a reason to retaliate: "Haha, do you think my man is doing you a losing proposition? Haha!"
"Xu Huizhen, you're doomed! You'll lose everything and cry your eyes out!" Cheng Xueru added insult to injury, "I told you to let me have one more sip of wine, so I could make you furious."
