The two worked until late at night, making 10 straw toys, and they both felt a great sense of accomplishment.
Wei Mingshen chuckled and asked, "Didn't you say you'd treat me to something extra tonight?"
It's been four hours since we had dinner, and we just rode our bikes to take Lin Meizhi around, so both of us young people are starving.
Su Xueli smiled at him and said, "You won't be shortchanged, just wait and see."
She opened the cabinet, took out a can of fish and a can of beef, and held them up in both hands for Wei Mingshen to see.
Canned food was a luxury item in those days, and Wei Mingshen's eyes watered at the sight of it.
Su Xueli shook her head and teased him, "Work hard with me from now on, and you'll get good food and drinks."
Wei Mingshen reached out and slapped her on the head. "Whose sister are you? Call me brother!"
Su Xueli's face fell. "You touched me again. I won't give you any more food. Stand there as punishment. I'll eat it and you can see."
Wei Mingshen rubbed his hands and said, "It's my fault for being so impulsive. I'm so sorry. Please punish me with something else, but don't make me eat this."
He glanced outside again and whispered, "How about this, I'll make amends and get a bottle of wine, okay?"
Upon hearing that there was wine, Su Xueli's bright eyes flashed: "Having meat but no wine is like having nothing at all. This is the icing on the cake."
"Then I'll let you off this time. I'll open the can, you open the wine."
Wei Mingshen waved his hand to signal her to be quiet, then pressed his ear to the crack in the door to listen for a while before returning to take out a bottle of wine and saying, "We can't let Mom and Dad know. I can't drink alcohol while taking medicine."
Su Xueli nodded, checked the window, and then sat down to open the can and put it on the table.
Wei Mingshen found two wine cups, poured them in, and didn't dare to open the door to the kitchen to get chopsticks. The two of them ate the meat from the can with their hands.
A bite of meat and a sip of wine, so satisfying!
After a few rounds, Wei Mingshen stared at Su Xueli in surprise, "You're good at drinking! When did you learn to hold your liquor?"
He didn't expect a girl to be able to drink so much.
In fact, Su Xueli's drinking capacity was something she developed in her past life. After Wei Mingshen became successful in the city and took all the children away, and her parents-in-law also passed away, she was all alone at home, so she learned to drink and drown her sorrows in alcohol every day.
However, in her past life, the wine she drank was bitter; in this life, the wine she drinks is refreshing.
After drinking the wine, Su Xueli's cheeks were flushed, her eyes were bright and sparkling, and she looked charming and alluring.
She answered, "Born that way."
"Haha!" Wei Mingshen laughed.
"Young lady, I like your personality. Let's become sworn brothers."
Su Xueli gave a bitter smile, tilted her head back and downed a cup of wine, saying, "Fine!"
Then he looked at him and said, "Now that we've become sworn brothers, we won't distinguish between you and me anymore. From now on, we'll work together to get rich and prosperous."
Wei Mingshen raised his wine glass: "It's a deal!"
And I promise to do straw weaving for her wholeheartedly and never let her down.
Su Xueli chuckled to herself, unaware that he had been taken advantage of for free.
She suddenly pressed down on his wine glass and said, "Finish the meat, no more wine. You have to get up early tomorrow to deliver what you wove today to the county. You won't be able to get up if you drink too much."
Wei Mingshen listened to advice, screwed the bottle cap back on, and asked him, "Can you drink what's in the glass?"
Su Xueli was deeply harmed by his "drunken misbehavior" and firmly said, "No, I'll drink it for you."
Wei Mingshen squinted at her and smiled, "Okay!"
He teased her again, "Just don't get drunk and do anything reckless."
Su Xueli felt a pang of pain in her heart, "You're the one who got drunk and acted recklessly."
