At dinner time, the Gong family sat around the dining table, having a great time.
On the surface, Lu Cheng seemed to be chatting and laughing with everyone, but in his heart he was still thinking about the inquiry at the military district headquarters.
Lin Yuexi noticed that something was wrong with him, and quietly held his hand under the table, giving him silent comfort.
After dinner, Lu Cheng and Lin Yuexi returned to their room. Lu Cheng closed the door, took a long breath, and told Lin Yuexi everything about his experience today.
Lin Yuexi listened and said, "Lu Cheng, what are you worried about? Since the old commander wants such a weapon, I will send the blueprint to them. Besides, you know my skills. If anyone dares to attack me, I will kill them without a trace..."
When Lu Cheng heard Lin Yuexi say this, he felt relieved, but still worried, "Yuexi, I'm still worried about your safety..."
Lin Yuexi patted his hands and reassured him.
Here, Lu Cheng was worried that Lin Yuexi would be remembered for having advanced weapons.
Over there, several elders of the Gong family started showing off everywhere because of the wine that Lin Yuexi sent them.
On this day, Gong Zhenguo, his younger brother Gong Zhenbei, the old man from the Xie family, the old man from the Zhang family, and the old man from the Xiao family gathered together again to play military chess.
In the past, the two old masters always lost miserably, but this time, the two old masters Gong won every game, which made them feel proud. This caused the other old masters to ask questions loudly.
"Lao Gong, did you two brothers eat something good today? How come your brains have become so sharp that the three of us were defeated by you..." Grandpa Xie.
"Yes! What is it? Let's all buy some to eat?..." Old Master Zhang agreed.
Master Gong Zi Zhenguo was delighted after hearing this. He took out the wine pot beside him and took a sip, saying, "I won't hide it from you. My brother and I have become more alert and sharp-eyed since we drank the wine brewed by my granddaughter-in-law. So you can't beat us..."
"What kind of wine? It makes you so arrogant..." The other old men were a little unconvinced.
As Gong Zhenguo spoke and drank, the aroma of wine wafted over, causing these old gentlemen to stare at his wine jug eagerly.
"This is specially prepared for me by my granddaughter-in-law," said Mr. Gong with a proud look on his face. "This is ginseng wine, which not many people can brew..."
These words reached the ears of Mr. Xie, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Xiao, and they were filled with envy.
Mr. Xie smiled and joked: "Old Gong, you are so lucky to have such a caring granddaughter-in-law."
Mr. Zhang also nodded: "That's right, now why don't you let us taste the flavor of this precious wine?"
But no matter what Gong Zhenguo said, he just refused to give it. The wine given by his granddaughter-in-law was not something that anyone could drink.
When Mr. Xiao listened, he felt both envious and a strange feeling in his heart.
He remembered that two years ago, he had the honor of tasting several jars of wine sent by Lin Yuexi, and the taste was still unforgettable.
But later, Lu Cheng returned to Qinghe Village to recuperate. The mountains were high and the roads were long, so he never got to drink this wine again.
He felt itchy in his heart and really wanted to have another sip, but he was too embarrassed to ask Lin Yuexi for it.
This time when he saw Mr. Gong and the others talking about the wine, he could only listen silently from the side, occasionally agreeing with a few words, but his eyes could not hide the trace of desire.
In this way, Lin Yuexi's ginseng wine became famous. Several old men wanted to meet the new daughter-in-law of the Gong family and taste the wine she brewed, and they even gave in to Gong Zhenguo a little.
After Mr. Xiao came back from the Gong family, he could no longer suppress the envy and jealousy in his heart.
As soon as he stepped into the house, he saw his grandson Xiao Yichen sitting leisurely in the living room reading a magazine, and his anger suddenly flared up.
"Xiao Yichen!" Old Master Xiao shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice full of anger and disappointment, "Look at you, you're so carefree every day. When will you be able to marry a beautiful and capable wife like Yuexi, like that kid from the Gong family, so that I can enjoy a peaceful life with you?"
Xiao Yichen was caught off guard by this sudden "fire". He put down the magazine and looked at his grandfather with a puzzled look.
He knew in his heart that although the old man usually had a quick temper, he was so angry that something must have not gone to his liking, otherwise he would never be so angry at him.
Xiao Yichen rolled his eyes and quickly said with a smile, "Grandpa, calm down first. Did my sister-in-law give something good to Grandpa Gong again?"
"You are a wise man, kid." Old Master Xiao snorted heavily and sat down on the sofa. "That's right, Yuexi sent ginseng wine to Lu Cheng's grandfather. That wine, wow, makes me feel comfortable after drinking it. I have been thinking about it for a long time."
"Grandpa, is this a small matter worth getting so angry?" Xiao Yichen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Didn't you drink that wine from sister-in-law two years ago?"
"That was the year before last, not this year!" Old Master Xiao glared, "I've been waiting for this for a long time. If you marry a wife like Yuexi, wouldn't I be able to drink this kind of wine every day?"
When Xiao Yichen heard this, he was stunned. He stared at his grandfather blankly, wondering what the hell was wrong with the old man today, that he actually wanted to marry a wife who looked like his sister-in-law.
Where can I find someone as good as my sister-in-law? Is he really going to steal Cheng Ge's girl? When Xiao Yichen thought of this, his face turned red all the way to his ears.
He scratched his head awkwardly and stammered, "Grandpa, you are making things difficult for me. It's too hard to find someone like my sister-in-law. This won't do..."
When Mr. Xiao heard Xiao Yichen's embarrassing words, he was furious. He glared and raised his voice and said, "You can't find it, right? Then you have to get two jars for me! You kid, you can't even do this, what's the use of you!"
Xiao Yichen suddenly realized that his grandfather wanted him to go to his sister-in-law to get some wine.
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that this was much better than asking himself to poach Cheng Ge's girls.
Just as I was about to respond, I heard a crisp knock on the door.
Xiao Yichen hurriedly stood up and walked quickly to the door to open it.
As soon as the door opened, I saw Lu Cheng's family of four standing at the door with smiles on their faces.
The wine that Mr. Xiao had been thinking about was now firmly in the hands of Lu Cheng and Lin Yuexi.
When Xiao Yichen saw this scene, his face suddenly lit up and he laughed happily.
He deliberately raised his voice and shouted loudly: "Brother Cheng, sister-in-law, just come if you want to. Why are you bringing such things? It's so polite!" The voice was so loud that it seemed as if every corner of the room could hear it.
Mr. Xiao, who was sulking in the room, pricked up his ears. Hearing this, he was shocked. Did Lu Cheng and Lin Yuexi come? And they brought something?
