In previous years, Minister Zhang would be surrounded by his wife and daughter as soon as he got home, which made him incredibly happy.
But with Qin Zi'an's arrival, Minister Zhang has almost become someone no one cares about.
Naturally, he harbored a great deal of resentment.
Minister Zhang raised his glass again and again, trying to get Qin Zi'an drunk.
Once he falls asleep, everything will be fine.
Madam Zhang's rice wine was so sweet that Qin Zi'an, who was used to drinking baijiu, felt no urge to drink it.
He kept drinking cup after cup, acting as if nothing was wrong.
"Zian! Have a couple more drinks, our homemade rice wine has no alcohol content, it's just like drinking water." Minister Zhang took the wine pot and filled Qin Zi'an's glass again. "Come on! Let's have another drink, you two brothers."
Upon hearing Minister Zhang's words, Qin Zi'an couldn't help but smile.
In fact, the system had already given him a friendly reminder the moment he took his first sip of rice wine.
Minister Zhang's rice wine has an alcohol content of around 33 degrees, so he suggested that Qin Zi'an drink it in moderation.
Furthermore, the system also provides Qin Zian with hangover pills, which can be redeemed with just a small amount of popularity points.
As long as Qin Zian takes the hangover pill, he won't get drunk no matter how much he drinks.
Upon learning this news, Qin Zian immediately exchanged for hangover pills and took them.
After all, the alcohol content of this rice wine is really too high, almost comparable to baijiu (Chinese white liquor).
Not to mention the beer and fruit wine we drink on a regular basis, there's absolutely no comparison.
It's no wonder there's a saying: "The rice wine in Fujian has no alcohol content, but the wind in Fujian is 52 degrees."
After all, the alcohol content of homemade rice wine is unknown, so it naturally has no alcohol content.
Because rice wine tastes so sweet, you can get drunk without even realizing it.
I didn't realize it while drinking, but once I went outside for some fresh air and sobered up...
In less than fifteen minutes, you'll definitely be exhausted and might even sleep until the afternoon of the next day.
Minister Zhang thought Qin Zi'an was an outsider, and from the north at that.
Qin Zian certainly had no idea about the power of rice wine.
So, Minister Zhang kept urging Qin Zi'an to drink, hoping to get him drunk and put him to sleep.
To prevent them from kidnapping their precious daughter late at night.
Minister Zhang never expected that not only would he fail to get Qin Zi'an drunk, but he himself would collapse first.
In fact, it was Qin Zi'an who carried Minister Zhang to the bed.
Looking at Minister Zhang on the bed, Madam Zhang saw no difference between him and a dead pig waiting to be slaughtered.
She sighed softly, then looked at Qin Zian with a smile.
"Zi'an, thank you so much. Otherwise, I wouldn't know how I would have carried him up here."
"Sister-in-law, you're too kind."
"Qin Zi'an, you're only three years older than me. Do you think it's appropriate for you to call my mother 'sister-in-law'?"
When Qin Zian turned around, he saw Zhang Yi leaning against the wall, looking at him with a smile.
Seeing that Zhang Yiyi was becoming increasingly rude, Madam Zhang gently tapped her head with her hand.
"How could you speak to a guest like that?" Madam Zhang looked at Qin Zi'an with a hint of apology and said softly, "Zi'an, please don't mind her. Yiyi has always been outspoken, but she didn't mean any harm."
Qin Zian nodded and said with a smile, "It's nothing, it was just a joke. It's just... Old Zhang is so drunk, will he be able to wake up tomorrow morning?"
Upon hearing Qin Zian's words, Zhang Yiyi burst into laughter.
Minister Zhang just poured so much alcohol into Qin Zi'an's drink; it would be a miracle if he could even wake up by tomorrow evening.
So, let alone being able to get up tomorrow morning, that's completely impossible.
"Qin Zi'an, you overestimate Lao Zhang. At his current state, he won't be fully awake until at least tomorrow night. You're asking this... because you want to see the Mazu procession tomorrow morning?"
"That's right! Old Zhang has come up with a special forces plan. He said he'd go see Mazu tomorrow morning and then go to Puxian to see the bonfire ceremony in the evening."
After hearing Qin Zian's words, Zhang Yiyi nodded thoughtfully.
With such a tight schedule, isn't this just a typical college student special forces tour?
Although Zhang Yiyi is already a graduate student, she is still a university student, and she is youthful, beautiful and full of energy.
Furthermore, Zhang Yiyi genuinely likes Qin Zi'an...
It's not just Qin Zi'an's good looks, but also his personal talent and ability.
Zhang Yiyi was still thinking about how to spend time alone with Qin Zi'an, but she never expected that the opportunity would come knocking on her door like this.
"Anyway, my dad won't be able to get up tomorrow. If you don't mind, I can take you shopping tomorrow. I know the same things that Lao Zhang knows. Besides, we're both young, so we're definitely more compatible in every way."
Qin Zian readily accepted Zhang Yiyi's suggestion.
After all, his trip to Fujian was quite short; he would be returning to Harbin in a couple of days.
If he can't go see the Mazu procession and the bonfire ceremony in Puxian tomorrow, then the next performance will be about a week away.
By then, time might not allow it.
And so, the two agreed to get up at five o'clock the next morning and go to see the Mazu procession together.
...
The next day, early morning.
Qin Zian had assumed that the young girl would be dressed up nicely and would arrive a little later than the agreed time.
But Qin Zian never expected that he would see Zhang Yiyi sitting at his door as soon as he opened the door.
"Up so early?"
"Of course! I came down to wait for you at 4:30. How should I put it, everything else can be put off, but saying goodbye is absolutely out of the question."
Zhang Yiyi winked at Qin Zian and continued with a smile, "This is what they say online: if you tell us Fujianese to get up at nine in the morning to chase after celebrities, we won't even listen. But if you say the procession starts at seven, we'll be there by five."
Qin Zian will deeply understand what Zhang Yiyi said, and he will also share it with netizens around the world.
After having a simple vegetarian meal, the two of them set off together for the Mazu Ancestral Temple.
It's no exaggeration to say that they arrived at 5:30 a.m., but the area was already packed with people...
