"Come, have some tea and sit down!"
Xu Meijuan handed him a cup of brewed tea and invited him to sit down.
"Thank you. I won't sit down. I'll just take a look around."
Chen Wang took the tea, walked to the bookshelf against the wall, took a sip of tea, and browsed the titles of the books curiously.
The books on this bookshelf are all related to history and geography.
"Does your father like books related to history?"
"Yes, you don't know, my father was a patriotic young man when he was young. He felt humiliated by modern history, so he joined the army."
"Your father is a man worthy of admiration."
Chen Wang praised seriously.
Xu Meijuan smiled and said, "I hope he is just an ordinary person. I grew up with my grandparents when I was a child, and sometimes I didn't see him for several years."
"clear."
Chen Wang smiled and nodded.
"Just take a look around. I'll get some fruit snacks."
"Don't bother."
"It's no trouble. I'd be bored if you didn't come. Just wait!"
After saying that, Xu Meijuan turned and left the study.
Chen Wang held the teacup and drank tea while browsing through the numerous books on several bookshelves.
Most of them are about history and military affairs, and there are also some famous works from ancient and modern times, both Chinese and foreign, which can basically be found here.
At this moment, the collection of books here is comparable to that of a small library.
Before traveling through time, Chen Wang was just a slave. He wanted to read more books but had no time. During his rare vacation, he just wanted to lie in bed and catch up on sleep.
In addition, there were too many entertainment options at that time, such as computers, smart phones, short videos, etc., making it difficult to concentrate on reading.
Now in this day and age, we have a lot of free time.
Chen Wang secretly decided that when the house was built, he would also build a study room like this, and read more books in it when he had time.
Even if you are a farmer in this life, you must be a knowledgeable and idealistic farmer.
After drinking tea and eating snacks with Comrade Xiao Xu, and chatting and laughing for a while, Xu Tiancheng woke up and came to the study.
"Xiao Xu, you're here!"
"Well, Uncle Xu, Happy New Year!"
Chen Wang greeted the New Year with a smile.
"Happy New Year!"
Xu Tiancheng smiled and nodded, saying, "The auction is scheduled for the 12th day of the first lunar month, which is the day after tomorrow. Do you have time to go together?"
As he spoke, he walked over to take the tea his daughter poured, his eyes falling on the box on the table.
"What is that?"
"Uncle Xu, there is leopard bone wine in there. It has only been soaked for a few days. Open it and drink it after a few months."
"Leopard bone wine? This is a good thing. Awang, are you just going to give it to me like this?"
Xu Tiancheng looked at him in surprise.
"You know I made this myself, and I didn't have to spend any money to buy it, so I gave a few jars to relatives and friends."
Chen Wang smiled and said.
"Thank you, that's thoughtful."
Xu Tiancheng thanked him with a smile on his face.
He is a gourmet and likes all kinds of rare delicacies and fine wines.
Leopard bone wine is a good thing, but it can’t be bought even if you have money.
Most people wouldn't be willing to give it away as a gift!
"About the auction..."
"It's the day after tomorrow, right? I have time. Can we go together?"
"Of course, if you come earlier, just come to my house directly. We will set off when you arrive."
"Okay, I'll definitely be there."
After discussing this matter, the three of them sat down and drank tea and chatted for a while.
When it was time for lunch, Xu Tiancheng invited Chen Wang to stay for lunch.
Chen Wang politely declined and stood up to say goodbye.
Xu Tiancheng did not force it and asked his daughter to get a box of cigarettes, alcohol, imported chocolates and cookies.
"These are gifts from others. Take them back and give them to your sister and wife!"
"Okay, thank you."
Chen Wang didn't act pretentiously and accepted it readily.
"Xiaojuan, then you can send Awang out. I'll go cook."
"Um!"
…
…
When I got home, I saw my wife and the little girl sitting in the room with their bowls, eating lunch.
Seeing him come back, Lin Xiuqin quickly put down her bowl and chopsticks, got up and went to the back room to help serve the rice.
The little girl's eyes were glued to the two boxes in his hands, examining them like a curious baby.
"Brother, what's in your hand?"
"Cigarettes and alcohol!"
Chen Wang pretended to be stupid.
"Oops, I meant the box in your right hand."
The little girl stared at the box with her big eyes.
"Eat your meal!"
Chen Wang put the things on the table.
The packaging of these imported chocolates and biscuits is very exquisite. The former uses a burgundy gift box, and the latter is a round aluminum box. The brand trademarks on the surface are all written in English.
"Brother, tell me, is it delicious?"
The little girl stood up and came over.
"Go away, you were born in the year of the dog, how can your nose be so sensitive?"
Chen Wang raised his hand and pressed her forehead, trying to push her away.
"It's really delicious. What is it? What is it?"
The little girl's eyes lit up and she walked forward, holding his hand.
"Let's talk about it after dinner. Be good! Otherwise, forget it."
Chen Wang warned in a serious tone.
"oh!"
The little girl immediately behaved herself, sat back, picked up the bowl and shoveled the food into her mouth, but her eyes were fixed on the two boxes on the table.
She had never seen such an exquisite packaging box, the contents must be delicious.
Lin Xiuqin walked in with an enamel pot and handed it to Chen Wang.
