"Of course, I guarantee you'll feel relaxed and comfortable," Wang Tianxiao quickly assured him, pointing to the wine in his glass and saying, "Is this wine drinkable now?"
Liu Yuan smiled and drank it all in one gulp.
Wang Tianxiao also finished his drink, then refilled Liu Yuan's glass and invited everyone to eat.
After a few drinks, everyone relaxed a bit and ate without much restraint. They ate quickly, and the first dozen or so steamed buns were gone in no time. Wu Wenhua went to get another plate of steamed buns.
At the height of their drinking spree, Wu Wenhua grabbed Wang Tianxiao's hand, his face flushed and his neck thick, and said, "Boss Wang, don't worry, we brothers are all honest people. If you treat us well, we will work hard for you. The words 'lazy and unwilling to work' have never existed in our dictionary."
"I believe you, otherwise why would I have left behind my two older brothers?"
"If you believe me, then let's drink."
"I drank too much. I can't actually hold my liquor. If I hadn't been drinking with you guys, I wouldn't have been able to drink this much at all."
"Look at you, Mr. Wang, you're not being nice at all." Wu Wenhua had indeed drunk a bit too much, and his behavior was no longer restrained, so he boldly urged people to drink more.
"Okay, okay, I'll drink it then, just this one." Wang Tianxiao had no choice but to drink another cup.
"Let's drink first and talk about it later..."
The moon had risen high in the sky, and everyone had been eating late. Wang Tiancheng whispered in Wang Tianxiao's ear, "Brother, it's getting late. If you don't go back soon, your wife will be unhappy."
Wang Tianxiao suddenly jolted awake, took out his watch to check, and found that it was already past ten o'clock. He hurriedly told everyone to finish their drinks and that the evening was over.
The others weren't fools; they knew what Wang Tianxiao meant.
They all said they had a great time tonight.
"Everyone, take a break. I'll clean up the dishes," Wu Wenhua said.
"Let me help you, Brother Wu." Wang Tiancheng placed Wang Fang in Wang Tianxiao's arms. Earlier during the meal, Wang Tianxiao hadn't been able to take care of Wang Fang, so it was all up to him.
"You should rest now, Boss Tiancheng. I'll take care of it. Boss Wang paid me to do this job, so I can't let him down. How could I trouble you with my work?"
"My second brother and I will take care of it," Wu Qiancai said from the side.
Wang Tiancheng then stopped and went out to check on the dogs' food and drink, and also took a look at Xiao Lu's room.
Wang Tianxin was ostensibly helping Liu Yuan back to his room, but in reality, he was pestering Liu Yuan to continue telling him hunting stories and how to make some hunting tools.
Like a little lapdog, its attitude couldn't be more submissive.
Wang Tianxiao carried his daughter out of the kitchen and put her in the room, but he didn't go in immediately. Instead, he went to a large rock at the mouth of the mountain ridge, wanting to sit there and get some fresh air to clear the smell of alcohol from his mouth.
But as soon as I got up there, my stomach started churning, and I began to vomit violently.
He vomited until tears streamed down his face.
a long time.
After a burst of intense energy, Wang Tianxiao finally came to his senses and gestured to Wang Tiancheng, who had run over to help him, that he was alright.
He wasn't a good drinker to begin with, and then he suddenly drank so much. He didn't feel it while sitting on the kang (heated brick bed), but when he came out and was exposed to the cold wind, he couldn't suppress it at all.
Sigh, I ate so much tonight, but it was all for nothing.
He took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth, took a few deep breaths of cool air to get rid of some of the smell of alcohol in his mouth, and then returned to his room.
I poured some hot water into the basin, washed my face with the hot water, and then poured the water into the basin, intending to wash my feet as well.
Water resources are quite scarce in the mountains, and this water was carried from a reservoir halfway up the mountain, so it cannot be wasted.
As he poured the water, he thought about how to find a permanent solution to the water problem, as relying on carrying water indefinitely wasn't a long-term solution. With more people at the station, water consumption would inevitably increase.
Let alone washing water, even getting water for drinking would become very difficult.
Back in the room, the kerosene lamp on the brick bed was extinguished by the mountain wind that leaked in from the door. He hesitated for a moment, then climbed onto the bed in the dark without lighting it, and lay down next to his daughter on the other side.
His wife was asleep on the far right side, where the chimney would inevitably pass, and the kang (heated brick bed) was warmer than the other places.
Due to the influence of the smoke, the leftmost side of his bed was usually the last to get hot and the first to get cool. Even when it was hot, it wasn't extremely hot; it was just warm enough.
It's just right for him.
He is naturally afraid of heat but not cold; as long as it's not an extreme temperature, he can adapt.
After all, no matter how harsh the environment, it certainly can't compare to the hardships of patrolling the mountains in heavy snow in my previous life.
People often say that thieves steal from the wind but not from the rain, and from the rain but not from the snow. This is because stealing things after snowfall will leave footprints.
However, this rule simply does not apply in the mountains. Tree thieves and poachers love to come to the mountains on snowy days because the forest rangers are less able to patrol due to the weather.
As for the footprints, the heavy snow will cover them up quickly, so there's no need to worry about them too much.
In his past life, Wang Tianxiao encountered that beast Liu Jun, who loved to make him patrol the mountains in the snow. He was often half-dead from the cold and almost didn't make it back several times.
Thinking of Liu Jun, Wang Tianxiao suddenly remembered the time he had "kissed him while he was down" last month. He wondered if Dai Zhixin had dealt with him yet. He couldn't let anything go wrong. He just happened to have some free time to go to the Xiachang Station to discuss the issue of the mountain contracting rights and to check on Liu Jun's current situation.
It's best if he's gone. If he's still around, then he'll have to resort to some underhanded tactics. That kind of pure scum makes my teeth itch with hatred just thinking about him.
We can't let him get away with this!
