Lu Yuan knew that Sun Maodou would definitely go if he heard there were beautiful women around.
All the women he's dated and been with over the years have one thing in common: they've all been very beautiful.
The group of good friends at the table all knew Sun Maodou's personality. After joking and teasing each other for a while, they remembered that today's protagonist was Yu Shaoheng.
They quickly started pouring alcohol into Yu Shaoheng's drink.
Yu Shaoheng accepted all comers, but no one knew that he had a hobby: drinking.
He usually liked to steal the old man's wine to drink, and this time he had a legitimate reason to do so, so naturally he wanted to drink to his heart's content.
With so many people offering toasts, he unknowingly drank quite a bit, and before long, Yu Shaoheng's face was almost as red as the big red flower on his chest.
He Shenghua advised, "Alright, don't get him drunk, or your wife will complain."
Everyone understood what he meant: to tell everyone to stop while they were at it and not to delay the wedding night.
"Yes, yes, we can't let the groom get drunk; we have important business to attend to tonight," Lu Yuanchao teased.
"Haha, that's right, everyone stop drinking."
The guys stopped toasting each other, laughing and joking.
Actually, Yu Shaoheng wasn't drunk at all. He gets flushed when he drinks, but he has a high alcohol tolerance. He doesn't know exactly how much he can drink, but he's never been drunk before in his life.
Today was the most he'd ever drunk, but it was less than two jin (1 kg) of baijiu (Chinese liquor), and he felt pretty good about himself.
Even when others don't respect him, he raises his wine bowl to toast everyone.
"Today I want to thank you all properly. I am so glad that I resolutely came to Changhe Brigade back then and met you all. I feel very lucky."
Everyone looked at him with smiles, and none of them tacitly refrained from picking up their glasses.
Yu Shaoheng continued, "Back when I was in Beijing, in our compound, many of my friends called me brothers on the surface, but behind my back they said I was stupid and called me a fool. I heard it several times."
Xiao Fan glanced at him, thinking to himself that his companions were right; they were indeed a bit dim-witted!
“But you guys are different. You’ve taken good care of me all these years. You’re willing to teach me things I don’t know how to do, and you’re willing to take me with you wherever you go. You’re my real brothers.”
"Thank you, my good brothers. Come on, let's raise our glasses and toast to our friendship."
Lu Yuan's lips twitched violently. What kind of childish statement was this?
He wanted to facepalm, and he guessed everyone else was just like him, wanting to lie on the table and laugh for a while.
"Come on, cheers!"
Everyone stood up, holding their wine glasses, and everyone was in high spirits.
Uh, this...?
Lu Yuan quickly stood up and picked up his wine glass as well.
Well, he forgot that people in this era value relationships, are willing to live and die for their brothers, and would go to great lengths for them.
Once a bond is formed, a brotherhood for a time can last a lifetime.
Lu Yuan downed his drink in one gulp, for a gulp signifies deep affection!
Yu Shaoheng was in high spirits and wanted to down three more drinks, but Xiao Fan stopped him.
"Uncle Wei and the others are going back to Beijing tomorrow. You need to say goodbye to them properly today, and don't get drunk."
Yu Shaoheng has always prioritized listening to advice in everything he does, and after hearing Xiao Fan's words, he stopped drinking.
However, his eyes kept glancing at the wine bottle again and again, clearly indicating that he was still craving it.
Lu Yuan found it amusing; he hadn't expected this guy to be such a glutton.
"If you like drinking, I'll send you two jars of good wine so you can drink your fill later."
Yu Shaoheng's eyes lit up. "Really, Brother Yuan? Did you also secretly hide a lot of Uncle Gao's Moutai?"
Lu Yuan glanced at him sideways, "You think I like to steal wine like you? This wine is brewed by your sister-in-law and me, and it's no worse than Moutai."
Xiao Fan, He Shenghua, Mo Ziyang, and the others didn't quite believe this, and didn't think that Lu Yuan and Wen Moxue could brew a wine better than Moutai.
However, Yu Shaoheng, Xu Dong, and Lu Yuanchao have an inexplicable confidence in Lu Yuan.
Lu Jiefang had no idea what was going on. He said, "A-Yuan, you're not talking about the Deer Antler Bar, are you?"
When his father had problems, Lu Yuan gave him medicine and this deer antler wine.
Upon hearing this, everyone realized that Lu Yuan was referring to this.
Apart from Xiao Fan, everyone else expressed that they couldn't show favoritism; they were all brothers and should be treated equally, so everyone had to receive a gift.
Lu Yuan was dumbfounded, then laughed and said, "You guys are no good. You're so young and you already need to drink deer antler wine."
What he wanted to give away wasn't deer antler wine, but rather grain wine that he and his wife had brewed in their space during their leisure time over the past few years. Brewed with water and grains from their space, it was naturally a fine wine.
However, it's not impossible for these brothers to want deer antler wine.
"Hey, you think you're so clever? Don't think everyone doesn't know. You have nine kids, and who knows how much good wine you've secretly drunk," Sun Maodou said half-jokingly.
Everyone else smiled and nodded in agreement, clearly agreeing with what he said.
"Pshaw, I don't need that thing."
He didn't rely on alcohol, but on spatial water.
“I know you don’t need alcohol, you need medicine,” Mo Ziyang said, trying to expose his mistake.
When he and his wife were pregnant with twins, they used medication once. The medication was given to them by Lu Yuan, and it was incredibly effective.
"Tch, you're the one who needs the medicine!" Lu Yuan wouldn't admit it.
Before anyone could say anything more, Lu Yuan said, "Looks like you guys don't want any more wine."
Immediately, everyone who had been opening their mouths shut up.
Tsk, deer antler wine is still the most appealing.
The banquet ended amidst the brothers' playful banter.
Lu Yuan and Wen Moxue returned home at sunset, while the ten children in the family had already gone home.
At this moment, Sanbao was instructing a group of little kids to practice kung fu in the yard. He had placed Xiao Ba and Xiao Jiu in a cradle, and Grandpa Liu was smiling as he stood by the cradle, occasionally rocking it a couple of times.
The scene was warm and harmonious; the couple entered the courtyard and unconsciously revealed happy smiles.
But happiness lasts only three seconds.
"Mom and Dad, you're back!" Sanbao greeted them expressionlessly.
"Perfect timing, I was thinking of having a match with Dad today."
If his dad loses today, he'll make him agree to one condition.
Lu Yuan's smile froze on his face, his head tilted to the side, and he fell towards Wen Moxue.
"Honey, I feel so dizzy. I must be drunk. Help me back to the house."
Sanbao: "..."
