Chapter 219 Old Song
Ye Hua left, but the atmosphere in the living room was not as harmonious as before.
The old man and the Queen Mother looked at the bottle of wine on the table.
I couldn't help but doubt in my heart. Although they would sometimes try all kinds of medical treatments when desperate, the secret recipes passed down from ancestors might not be as mysterious as they are said to be.
Besides, whose family secret recipe has anything to do with peaches? If peaches can cure all diseases, why do doctors in hospitals prescribe those medicines?
I've heard of tiger bone wine, deer antler wine, snake wine and the like, but I've never heard of peach wine.
Besides, many doctors have seen my chronic rheumatism, but they are unable to cure it.
It can only relieve the symptoms, but it is impossible to cure it.
But we can't lose face for the child.
No matter what, this kid means well.
Even if it can't cure the disease, it's okay to drink this peach wine, and it certainly won't be harmful to the body.
Don't hurt other people's feelings.
"Oh, I've never seen peach wine before. This is the first time I've heard of this secret recipe passed down from generation to generation. There's actually peach wine! Come on, pour me a glass to try!"
The old man was afraid that Jiang Xiaoxiao would lose face.
Jiang Xiaoxiao felt that Secretary Wang still didn't quite understand his father.
How can the old man not have high EQ? His EQ is very high.
The Queen Mother slapped her thigh.
"Auntie has prepared the food. Let's go to the dining table and drink. It's a good opportunity for me to try some. Today I made your favorite twice-cooked pork and fish-flavored pork shreds. They go well with peach wine. I think they're really good. I want to have a couple of drinks, too."
Secretary Wang went up to pick up the glass bottle of peach wine without saying a word, ran straight to his own restaurant, and greeted Jiang Xiaoxiao.
"Jiang Xiaoxiao, come quickly! Come quickly! Our auntie is a great cook. You are lucky enough to come here today. Come and have a try."
Jiang Xiaoxiao didn't hesitate and followed Secretary Wang directly into the restaurant.
The old man and the Queen Mother finally breathed a sigh of relief. They couldn't lose face since the child came here.
There were four people sitting neatly in the restaurant and they just picked up their chopsticks.
There was a knock on their door, and the Queen Mother frowned. Who was coming to the door at this time?
This guy is obviously here to get a free meal. Oh! He must be an acquaintance.
Not long after the aunt opened the door, she came with an old man and an old lady.
The Queen Mother stood up hurriedly and said, "Old Song, why didn't you say anything to us when you and your elder sister came? Otherwise, we would make two more dishes for you, and you two brothers can have a drink together."
He hurriedly asked the old man and the old lady to sit down.
Jiang Xiaoxiao was very perceptive and immediately moved away, thinking it would be inappropriate for her to sit in that position any longer.
These people in front of me, no matter how old they are, are still our elders.
She and Secretary Wang voluntarily moved two seats back.
The table was fully occupied by six people, but it was a round table so ten people could sit at it.
When Mr. Song and his wife saw him, they knew he must be a senior official. Just by looking at the Zhongshan suit he was wearing and the old lady's neat clothes with four pockets, they knew he was a cadre.
Still an old cadre.
The old man looked very majestic, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. Although his hair was gray, he had a dignified aura, especially his gaze, which was a little sharp. He glanced at Jiang Xiaoxiao and was a little surprised.
"Who is this?"
"Grandpa Song, this is Jiang Xiaoxiao, a friend of mine who works in the production team of Kenqing Farm. She came here today to give my dad some peach wine. You're just in time, so come and try some."
Secretary Wang poured wine for his father, mother, and Grandpa Song and Grandma Song in front of him as if he was presenting a treasure.
It's no wonder that when the wine is poured out, a fragrance wafts out with it. Although the alcohol content doesn't smell high, the fragrance alone makes up for all the shortcomings.
Mr. Song picked up the wine glass, smelled it, and then took a sip.
"Oh, this wine is good. It tastes very fresh and sweet. Although it is different from the wines we drank in the past, it has its own flavor."
How could Mr. Wang not know who Old Song is? This man is addicted to alcohol, but he is in poor health due to his old age.
All of them have a common problem: when they get old, they can't drink even a drop of alcohol.
Since Old Song said it tasted good, then this wine must be special. He hurriedly picked up the wine glass and took a sip, savoring it carefully in his mouth, and nodded.
"You know what, this wine tastes really good."
The Queen Mother and Old Lady Song were also amused by the expressions of the two people, and they both picked up their wine glasses and drank a little.
But after drinking it, I was still amazed. The taste of this wine is more suitable for women.
It's basically not alcoholic, but has a sweet taste in the aftertaste.
The food on the table was cooked really well. Although Jiang Xiaoxiao could cook, she was still a little short of being able to prepare top-notch food.
After all, she wasn't a chef in her previous life. How good can a cook be if she holds a scalpel?
All her time is spent on performing surgeries, and the meals she prepares are just so-so.
The skills I know are all learned by doing odd jobs to make a living.
While eating the food prepared by the Wang family chef, he couldn't help but smile.
"Little girl, you are at Kenqing Farm. My grandson is also at Kenqing Farm. You may know him. His name is Song Moting."
After drinking a glass of wine, Mr. Song started a conversation, mainly because he recognized the girl in front of him.
"Mr. Song, you are Song Moting's grandfather! Song Moting is now the captain of our group."
Jiang Xiaoxiao was shocked. It turned out that the majestic old man in front of her was Song Moting's grandfather.
It's really strange that Song Moting never told me that his grandparents were in the county town.
No wonder he came to this farm to work in the countryside. It seems he wanted to get the most out of it.
Song Moting probably wanted to be able to visit and take care of his grandparents nearby.
"Oh, then we are acquaintances. This Mo Ting is the same. Every time he comes to the county town, he leaves immediately after staying for a few minutes. We can't even invite him to have a meal. If it weren't for the food issue last time, I guess he wouldn't be willing to come to the county town to see us.
This child is just stubborn. How is his health these days? "
Jiang Xiaoxiao could tell from what they said that it seemed that the old man and the old lady really loved Song Moting from the bottom of their hearts, but for some reason, there seemed to be some estrangement between Song Moting and the old man and the old lady.
Brother Song actually has a very good temper, and he is not the type who is irritable or unreasonable.
But the fact that there is such a gap between me and my grandparents shows that there is something going on.
Think about it again, Song Moting's mother died early, and there is a stepmother at home. It can be imagined that he probably had a hard time in recent years, and some things can happen in the meantime.
My own biological parents could do such a thing to me, let alone my stepmother.
I can’t say that I’m too one-sided, but how could a stepmother treat her predecessor’s son like her own biological son?
Anyway, Jiang Xiaoxiao herself felt that if she had her own son and someone else's son, she would inevitably be somewhat biased.
This has nothing to do with being kind or not; it’s just human instinct.
