Chapter 176: The Truth Comes
Out After Drinking Mingzhu got home and immediately started to work in the kitchen.
After a while, three dishes and a soup were ready. She was so hot that she went into the living room to take a shower. As soon as she came out, Jiang Duo came back.
Mingzhu greeted him with a smile.
Seeing Mingzhu had actually returned and prepared so many meals, Jiang Duo was quite surprised: "Is Cai Baolian's operation finished?"
"I don't know. It wasn't finished when I went there. I put the soup on the bedside table in the ward, left a note and came back first."
"Didn't you go to see how the operation went?"
"There are doctors in the hospital. I can see that she won't end the operation early. Besides, my petty husband doesn't like me to contact Wang Jue, so I'd better not go."
As she said, she walked forward and hugged Jiang Duo's waist tenderly: "Is your little wife doing well?"
Jiang Duo raised his hand and touched her head, and said softly: "Good."
"Then you can do something with me," she let go of Jiang Duo, pulled him to the dining table, and took out a whole glass bottle of bulk liquor from the cupboard behind her, and placed it on the dining table.
Jiang Duo frowned, "Why did you buy liquor?"
"Today I went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy meat, and the smell of bulk liquor was very fragrant, so I bought ten kilograms of it. You can taste it with me." Mingzhu
can drink quite well. It is said that people speak the truth after drinking. She planned to get this rough man drunk and pry open his mouth.
Jiang Duo said with some concern: "Drinking can hurt your body."
"Oh, it's not like I drink every day. I'm in a good mood today. We can have a few drinks at home with the door closed. No one will care. Go wash your hands. We're going to eat."
Jiang Duo got up as he said and went to the washbasin rack next to him to wash his hands. When he came back, Mingzhu had already poured the wine.
She used a small cup for one or two glasses of wine, and she used a teacup for Jiang Duo, which contained at least half a pound of wine.
Mingzhu waved to Jiang Duo with some joy: "Husband, come quickly."
Jiang Duo walked over and sat on the stool next to her, frowning: "Zhuzhu, this is too much."
"Not at all. A real man should not be stifled by such a small amount of wine. If you can't drink, just learn. I can drink quite well and I can practice with you, so that you won't be embarrassed when you go out and get drunk under the table. Come on."
Mingzhu said, holding up the wine glass with a smile, "Brother, I always feel that I should toast you a glass. We are really... people from two different worlds. We can be together only because of fate. For the sake of fate, let's clink glasses."
Mingzhu was telling the truth. In Jiang Duo's view, the so-called two worlds of the two might just be two places, but to Mingzhu, they were indeed two worlds -
Jiang Duo did not hesitate, held up the wine glass and clinked it with Mingzhu's.
Mingzhu said, "I'm done, you can do whatever you want."
Jiang Duo was about to let Mingzhu drink slowly, but Mingzhu had already quickly finished the wine in the glass.
The fragrant wine spread in her throat and then entered her spleen and stomach. Mingzhu subconsciously said "Ha", it's so spicy.
Jiang Duo looked at her frowning face and couldn't help laughing. Is this a good alcohol tolerance?
He picked up a piece of meat for Mingzhu and handed it to her lips: "Eat some meat to suppress it."
Mingzhu opened her mouth and ate it. While chewing, she said unconvincedly: "What are you laughing at, I just...drank it in one gulp. I really know how to drink. I can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk."
She said, and poured herself another glass.
This wine is really delicious and sweet.
The wines in later generations that cost thousands of dollars a bottle are not as mellow and rich as this one. Except for being a little spicy, there is really no other problem. Mingzhu
frowned when she saw Jiang Duo didn't drink, "Hubby, you're not kind. I toasted you with wine, but I've already finished it, and you haven't drunk it yet."
Jiang Duo nodded, picked up the teacup again, and took a sip.
Mingzhu was speechless: "Why, you're not happy to meet me, I'm not worth your big mouthfuls of wine and meat."
Jiang Duo was a little amused, he didn't expect his little girl to persuade him to drink, in order to make the little girl happy, he picked up the wine glass and took another big sip.
Mingzhu nodded with satisfaction, let him eat a few bites of food, and then toasted him a lot of wine with various reasons such as thanking him for his love and willing to help take care of her aunt.
Jiang Duo finished drinking two big teacups of wine, and Mingzhu also drank seven or eight small cups.
Her mind was originally a little confused, but now it was almost a mess. She was completely unaware that when she leaned over and held Jiang Duo's hand, her body was swaying back and forth unconsciously.
Jiang Duo knew that she had drunk too much, so he gently dragged her arm and said, "Zhuzhu, the aroma of this wine has worn off. It's enough, let's not drink anymore, okay?"
"I won't, I... I have to get you drunk," Mingzhu said, burping: "... I still have something to ask you."
Jiang Duo: ...
I just felt that her persuading me to drink one glass after another today was a little bit wrong. It turns out that she really has something on her mind.
He pursed his lips and smiled softly, "Ask whatever you want to ask?"
Mingzhu raised her hands and pressed his shoulders, her facial features all frowned together: "You...did you drink too much? Don't shake."
Jiang Duo held back his laughter, held her shoulders with his backhand, fixed her body, and nodded: "Okay, I won't shake, you ask."
Mingzhu smiled mischievously: "Tell me, what is your relationship with that Doctor Xiaoning, why don't you see her?"
Jiang Duo was stunned for a moment, thinking that she would ask about the situation at home, or what she had always been curious about, the matter between him and Feiying.
Unexpectedly, she would ask this.
"Who told you what today?"
Mingzhu shook her head and pursed her lips: "My eldest cousin only said that you were childhood sweethearts, and didn't tell me anything else, so I want to get you drunk. Tell me quickly, or I won't be able to fool you after the alcohol wears off."
Jiang Duo chuckled: "Dr. Ning and I are not childhood sweethearts. Her brother and I grew up together and have a very good relationship. Our two families are neighbors and visit each other frequently. She is very much liked by my family, but I don't want to have private contact with her, so I don't go to see her."
Mingzhu grinned, seemingly hearing everything just now, but in fact, she didn't keep anything in her head. She couldn't hold her head up anymore, and slammed into Jiang Duo's arms, "I'm so dizzy."
"You are drunk, let's go and get some sleep first."
"I'm not drunk, I can still drink another two kilograms," she said, holding up three fingers with a face full of confidence.
Jiang Duo couldn't help laughing: "Well, I am drunk, you accompany me to rest for a while, and then I will accompany you to continue drinking, okay?"
"Okay," Mingzhu looked reluctant and leaned back into Jiang Duo's arms.
Jiang Duo gently dragged her shoulders with one hand, put his other hand under her legs, picked her up horizontally, brought her into the bedroom, and gently put her on the bed.
Mingzhu put her arms around his neck and rubbed her head against his chest like a kitten, which made Jiang Duo feel a little itchy.
Jiang Duo looked at her drunken appearance and thought of the doubts that had been lingering in his mind. He hesitated for a moment, and finally asked: "Zhuzhu, can you also answer a question for me?"
Mingzhu said obediently: "Okay."
"What did you dream about that night in the cave? Why did you cry and say that you missed your parents and wanted to go home, but couldn't find a way to go back? Where did you want to go back to?"
