Chapter 97 Drunk
One week after Lin Ping’s birthday is A Xing’s wife A Yun’s birthday.
The couple had put a lot of obstacles in the way of Lin Qiu and Wang Xiuren. Since Ah Xing had informed them, they had to attend the banquet no matter what.
Wang Xiuren got off work early and came to the newsstand to help Lin Qiu clean up the newsstand.
After the door was closed, Lin Qiu sat on the back seat of the bicycle, and Wang Xiuren rode the bicycle to Yuhua Seafood.
Since its opening two years ago, Yuhua Seafood has become an instant hit with its fresh ingredients, delicious taste and authentic flavor, and has become one of the most famous restaurants in Bao'an District.
Arriving at the entrance of Yuhua Seafood, Lin Qiu jumped off his bicycle, straightened his clothes, and tucked his hair behind his ears. He looked at Wang Xiuren and asked, "Are your hair and clothes ironed?"
Wang Xiuren looked them up and down and said, "Well, they are all good!"
Lin Qiu smoothed Wang Xiuren's collar again, and the two of them walked into the restaurant hand in hand.
Although Ayun lives a casual life, the scene is not small at all.
Ah Xing settled in the right side of the lobby. There were a dozen large round tables that were basically full of people. Ah Xing and his wife were busy greeting friends.
When Ah Xing saw the couple coming in, he immediately waved, "Brother, come here quickly! There's something good going on!"
Wang Xiuren walked towards him, confused.
Ayun saw Lin Qiu standing alone on the side, so he hurried over and took her to a seat.
"It seems like there is another project that can be contracted!"
Lin Qiu knew that Ah Xing and his wife were taking care of them again. He felt that the gift he bought was too light, and now there was no time to make it thicker, so he could only give them a wrapped gift box: "I picked out a pair of pearl earrings for you, I wonder if you like it?"
"Auntie, you have good taste, there won't be any mistakes!" Ayun took the gift box with both hands and put it into the bag she carried with her.
The two chatted for a while, and then Ayun saw another customer arriving and hurried over to greet him.
Lin Qiu sat down and looked around the restaurant. He felt that although Ayun was just a layman, the scene was more lively than other people's weddings.
On the other side, Ah Xing was introducing a friend who was engaged in real estate to Wang Xiuren.
Ah Xing is a local and works in the tax department. He is also good at making friends, so the occupations of the guests who come here are varied.
The person he introduced was a cousin of his from the clan who was in real estate business. The cousin had an urgent job and needed to build a model house.
The house is not big, but there is a lot of carpentry work inside, including a wine cabinet which is a bit difficult to make.
Wang Xiuren knew that this was Ah Xing taking care of him. As long as this model house was completed, there would be no shortage of similar construction sites in the future.
So he started chatting with Axing's cousin Ada on the spot, and the two agreed to go and take a look at the site tomorrow and get the drawings back.
When the food was almost served, Wang Xiuren walked over to Lin Qiu with excitement and sat down.
Lin Qiu knew there were a lot of people there, so he didn't ask any more questions and poured a cup of tea and handed it over.
Wang Xiuren had already become thirsty from talking so he took the tea and drank it all in one gulp.
The birthday banquet was very sumptuous, with the table filled with steamed grouper, shrimps, crab roe, crispy roast goose, Yuhua Peking duck, black truffle fish maw soup, etc.
But the couple didn’t know anyone at the table except the people sitting next to each other, so they could only nod and smile politely, and then concentrate on eating.
Wang Xiuren was halfway through his meal when Ah Xing pulled him out for a drink.
When the birthday party was over, Wang Xiuren walked towards Lin Qiu crookedly, and halfway through he leaned against the wall and said to Lin Qiu: "Let me take a break first, then I'll take you back!"
Lin Qiu asked the waiter for a cup of strong tea and brought it to Wang Xiuren's mouth, "Come, drink some water! Let's sit down and relax first, there's no rush."
Wang Xiuren cooperated and drank the tea. Wang Shan helped him sit on the chair and then he lay down on the table.
Almost half an hour later, he propped up his head and said, "I'll take you home!"
He said he was going to take Lin Qiu back, so it was good enough that Wang Xiuren could walk steadily on his own.
Lin Qiu pushed his bicycle behind him, and reminded him from time to time: "Wait a minute, the light is red!" "Turn right!"
Wang Xiuren was drunk and had a slow reaction. He would walk a few steps before stopping, or walk a few steps before turning.
Lin Qiu had to put down his bicycle and go to pull him, feeling a little regretful that he shouldn't have come on a bicycle.
"You can't even hold your alcohol tolerance, but you still drink so much!"
Lin Qiu poked his forehead with his finger.
"Another construction site call, we have to toast the boss!"
Wang Xiuren's voice was a little vague, and he chuckled as he finished speaking, "Once we finish this order, we can buy a household registration for Shanshan!"
The sentence was divided into six parts before it was finished. Lin Qiu was only worried about how to take him up the stairs from the community to his home.
She held the bicycle with one hand and pulled him with the other, moving slowly forward.
Suddenly he lifted up Lin Qiu's left hand and kissed it fiercely, "It smells so good!"
Fortunately, they are a couple, otherwise Lin Qiu would like to punch this "hooligan" directly to see if he is really good!
After taking two steps, Wang Xiuren stumbled forward again. Lin Qiu looked back and found that his left foot tripped over his right foot.
Fortunately I didn’t fall.
The couple walked and stopped along the way, and finally arrived at the gate of Jinxiu Garden in a staggering manner. Anyone who saw them would know that the man was very drunk.
Seeing that it was already past nine o'clock and her daughter and son-in-law had not returned home yet, Lin Ting was afraid that something might have happened, so she ran to the gate of the community and waited.
Seeing his drunk son-in-law, he quickly ran over and hung Wang Xiuren on his shoulders.
Seeing his father coming to help, Lin Qiu finally didn't have to worry about not being able to get through that flight of stairs.
She breathed a sigh of relief, "Dad, thank goodness you're here, otherwise I don't know how to get him back."
Lin Ting waved his hands. The drunk man lay heavily on him. He supported his son-in-law up the stairs with some difficulty.
Lin Qiu walked quickly into the unit door, parked the car, ran back, and held Wang Xiuren from the left.
Finally they reached the elevator door, and both the father and daughter’s faces were covered in sweat.
After opening the door, the two men worked together to throw Wang Xiuren onto the bed.
Wang Xiuren relied on his last bit of rationality to sit up, "Dad, thank you so much!"
"Don't thank me, just lie down!" Lin Ting rubbed his right shoulder and said unhappily.
Zhou Qing brought in a glass of honey water, "Is Xiuren feeling better? Why did you drink so much?"
Lin Qiu took it and said, "I got another project. I have to toast to the boss."
"Alas, it's not easy to make money!" Zhou Qing sighed, "After feeding him water, let him lie down and take a nap."
"Oh, you reek of alcohol. I guess I'll have to change all the sheets and quilts tomorrow!"
Lin Qiu helped Wang Xiuren drink the honey water, and then pushed him down on the bed.
"Mom, Dad, go to bed!" Lin Qiu urged as it was getting late, "I'm here!"
"Okay, you should take a shower and go to bed early. I wonder if Xiu Ren will make trouble at night!" Zhou Qing walked out of the bedroom mutteringly.
Lin Ting also followed him out.
Seeing Wang Xiuren frowning uncomfortably, Lin Qiu stretched out his finger and poked his forehead a few times.
"I told you to drink so much! Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
“You deserve it!”
Seeing that his eyebrows were red from being poked, he rubbed them with his fingers.
"If you weren't drunk because of Shanshan, I would have taught you a lesson!"
The mumbling female voices and loud drunken snoring are particularly vivid on this spring night.
