Pei Zheng suddenly had an idea and said to squad leader Lao Wang: "Uncle Wang, my dad doesn't drink it, but I do. Can you tell me what the benefits of drinking this thing are?"
Pei Zheng knew that deer blood was a magical way to strengthen male sexual function. Others had mentioned it vaguely, and he had listened to it vaguely, but he had no idea what was going on.
Squad leader Lao Wang was diverted by Pei Zheng and started talking: "You are really knowledgeable. Our ancestors in traditional Chinese medicine listed deer blood as the most precious medicinal material. It can not only treat impotence and replenish deficiency, but also treat sprains and lung diseases. In short, it has many benefits. It is said that Emperor Xianfeng drank a bowl of it every day. Don't you think it is a good thing?"
Pei Zheng nodded quickly to indicate that it was indeed a good thing. Squad Leader Lao Wang was right. Who knew that Squad Leader Lao Wang would change the subject and say, "Such a good thing, I took it out to treat your father, but he was not happy. Do you think my kindness was taken for granted?"
Pei Zheng: “…” How come it’s happening to me again?
He had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Yes, Uncle Wang is very kind. Since deer blood has so many benefits, let's all drink it, including Lu Nong and Grandma Wu."
"Right, Lu Nong?" Pei Zheng desperately winked at Lu Nong for help.
Lu Nong stretched out a finger and said, "One month guard."
Pei Zheng closed his eyes and nodded in agreement.
"Yes, I have never drunk deer blood, and I just want to know what deer blood tastes like." Lu Nong tugged at Pei Jinan's clothes.
Pei Ji'an was caught between his son and daughter-in-law. Under the passionate sales pitch of squad leader Lao Wang and the slogan "If you don't drink, you're not a good brother", he had no choice but to agree.
Squad leader Lao Wang was happy and thought to himself, Pei Jinan, you are a hypocrite. Every time I invite you to drink, you refuse. Now this time, finally someone can teach you a lesson.
Since it was Squad Leader Lao Wang who was treating, of course the food and drinks had to be arranged at his house. They returned to the cabin to pick up Mother Wu and Zaizai, and went to Squad Leader Lao Wang's house together.
Squad Leader Lao Wang's home is the most ordinary bungalow on the farm. He has a son and a daughter. His son is 23 years old and works in Beijing. Squad Leader Lao Wang has always hoped that his son could take over his job, but unfortunately his son thought the farm had no future and stayed in Beijing.
The daughter is 20 years old. She was originally studying in Beijing, but she failed to get into university this year. She came back to the farm to accompany Squad Leader Lao Wang for a while. She will go back to Beijing to repeat her studies next year. As for Squad Leader Lao Wang’s wife, she and Squad Leader Lao Wang are divorced and now live in Beijing with her son.
"Now I, Old Wang, am able to eat my fill while the whole family is not hungry. The house is in chaos, so please don't complain." Squad leader Old Wang invited the Pei family in.
At this time, a young girl with a braided hair and a flowered dress came out of the bedroom and said unhappily, "Dad, what are you talking about? You still have me and my brother, so why are you alone now?"
"Cuicui, you're here at the right time. Go and get my best tea and wine. We have distinguished guests at home today. Your uncle Pei and his family are here." Squad Leader Lao Wang instructed his daughter.
Wang Cuicui originally thought that it was just another group of her father's rough friends from the farm, so she didn't care when they came out covered in dust. But who knew that the person who came this time was not someone from the farm, but Pei Ji'an.
"Ah!" Wang Cuicui screamed and hurried into the house.
Squad leader Lao Wang was completely confused when he saw this. "This girl is usually carefree and never shy. Why is she hiding from others this time?"
Lu Nong guessed what Wang Cuicui was thinking, but it was not easy to talk about the girl's thoughts, so he didn't say much. Instead, he changed the subject and asked squad leader Lao Wang curiously: "Brother Wang, who is the owner of the wooden house we live in?"
"You don't know? Didn't Ji'an tell you?" Squad Leader Lao Wang was surprised. "The wooden house was built by Ji'an himself. He always stayed in the wooden house when he came to visit me. Later, I thought it was a pity to leave it abandoned, so I lent it to an unmarried young man on the farm. On the one hand, it can warm up the house and make it more lively. On the other hand, I don't have to clean it up when Ji'an comes."
So that's how it is, Lu Nong nodded. No wonder Pei Ji'an found a place to live by himself without Squad Leader Lao Wang leading the way.
"Hurry up and sit down. I'll go call Cuicui. This girl inherited her cooking skills from her mother. Let her show you some of her skills."
Squad leader Lao Wang walked to the door of his daughter's room and knocked on it. "Cuicui? What are you doing in there? Come out and meet the guests."
The door was opened from the inside, and in just a few words, Wang Cuicui had combed her hair and changed her clothes. Her hair had changed from a single braid casually tied at the back of her head to a smooth, frizz-free double braid with an emerald green headband tied at the ends of her hair. The two braids were neatly draped on both sides of her shoulders, and her clothes were changed into a popular little dress.
He looks gentle and handsome, like a completely different person.
Squad leader Lao Wang is indeed a straight man among straight men. He frowned in front of everyone and said, "Why did you dress up so nicely when I asked you to come out to cook? And you even wore the new clothes your mother bought for you. It would be a waste of money and clothes to cook in them."
Wang Cuicui pouted and said unhappily, "None of your business!"
Squad leader Lao Wang was helpless. He only had this one lady. The lady was sensible and considerate. He usually couldn't bear to scold her. But now the lady was getting tough. Squad leader Lao Wang could only soften himself. "My dear lady, the family of your father's old comrade-in-arms is here today. You know that my father's cooking is not good. I can only rely on you to show off your cooking skills to the guests. Then I will buy you a new skirt."
Wang Cuicui felt smoothed down by the touch and nodded in agreement.
"Come, come and meet your Uncle Pei," squad leader Lao Wang pulled Wang Cuicui and asked her to call for help. "Last time you were complaining about why Uncle Pei hadn't come yet. Now that Uncle Pei is here, hurry up and say hello."
"Hello, Uncle Pei." Wang Cuicui greeted him awkwardly with her head down, her cheeks flushed.
Others just thought that Cuicui was shy because she saw outsiders, but Lu Nong, who was also a woman, easily saw that Cuicui was not shy because of seeing outsiders, but because of seeing Pei Jinan.
Tsk, male beauty is so tempting.
Squad leader Lao Wang pointed at Lu Nong and said, "This is your Aunt Pei and her godmother. You should follow Pei Zheng and call her Grandma Wu. These two are your Uncle Pei's sons Pei Zheng and Gu Huai. They are younger than you, so just call them brothers."
Wang Cuicui was stunned and stared at Lu Nong in a daze. In fact, Wang Cuicui had a bad feeling when she saw the unfamiliar Lu Nong for the first time, but she would not give up until the end. She was lucky enough to think that maybe the woman standing next to Pei Jinan was Uncle Pei's relative.
Now that she heard with her own ears that her father said that the woman was Uncle Pei’s wife, Wang Cuicui felt confused and sad and wanted to cry. Why?
After more than ten years of not getting married, when she finally grew up and was eligible to marry him, he suddenly got married.
Wang Cuicui was extremely jealous of the women around Pei Jinan.
No one knew what Wang Cuicui was thinking, so after everyone introduced themselves, they started to prepare lunch. Originally, Team Leader Wang didn't want to let the guests do any work, but his family hadn't prepared anything, and there was not enough labor at home. Chopping wood, killing chickens, chopping bones... these jobs all required men to do, and Team Leader Wang couldn't do it all by himself, so he rudely ordered the guests to do the work.
Seeing this, Mother Wu and Lu Nong naturally couldn't sit idle either. Mother Wu went to the kitchen to help Cuicui cook. Lu Nong didn't have their cooking skills, so she could only squat by the well in the yard to wash and select vegetables.
Pei Jinan was killing a chicken in the corner. He raised his knife and the chicken slowly stopped moving. Blood flowed all over the floor along the cut. Lu Nong got goosebumps all over his body and quickly lowered his head to wash his vegetables.
Squad leader Lao Wang was holding his son and directing Pei Zheng to chop wood. "Don't point the axe at people. That's right. If you don't hold it firmly, you might hurt others. You need to use your skills and aim at the middle of the wood. Find the right position to test the feel before you raise the axe and chop it down."
Pei Zheng practiced several times but still couldn't get enough energy, which made him a little frustrated.
"Old Pei, come over here and teach your son." Squad leader Old Wang called Pei Jinan happily.
Pei Ji'an ignored him, put the motionless chicken on the ground, letting it bleed slowly, walked to Lu Nong and scooped a basin of water to wash his hands. After washing his hands, he took the vegetables from Lu Nong's hand and started to pick and wash them with her.
"Tsk," Squad Leader Lao Wang shook his head.
Lu Nong looked at Pei Jinan. Pei Jinan was calm and composed, not caring at all about the teasing look from Squad Leader Lao Wang. When she saw Lu Nong looking at her, she glanced at her without saying anything.
Lu Nong rolled his eyes and, while no one was paying attention, pinched Pei Jinan's hand with his fingers.
Pei Ji'an was already experienced in dealing with her mischief, so he calmly grabbed the little white hand, held it in his hand, and rubbed it carefully, while he could still wash the vegetables with his other hand. He was truly a genius at multitasking.
Lu Nong: “…”
Neither of them noticed that their bodies were unconsciously moving closer to each other, and even though they didn't speak, there was a sense of ambiguity between them.
Psychologically speaking, people subconsciously move closer to people they like and want to touch people they like.
Wang Cuicui didn't know anything about psychology. While cooking, she looked towards Lu Nong in the yard. Coincidentally, from her angle, she could see Lu Nong clearly.
When Pei Ji'an walked to Lu Nong's side, Wang Cuicui felt that the picture of them together was very irritating. They obviously did not do anything and said nothing, but it just hurt her heart.
When Wang Cuicui saw Pei Jinan stroking Lu Nong's hand, her face turned red, her heart beat fast, and she was also burning with jealousy.
She stared at Lu Nong, wanting to know how Lu Nong was better than her.
Doesn't it look better?
She is not bad... Well, maybe Lu Nong is a little bit prettier than her. But she is still a virgin. That woman is married for the second time, has a child, and married to Pei Ji'an with a family. It is impossible for her to take care of Pei Ji'an wholeheartedly.
Cuicui was unwilling to give up, and she chopped the meat on the chopping board into paste.
Mother Wu: "..." Isn't this girl too aggressive? Fried pork with peppers or minced meat?
"Girl... I say," Wu's mother hesitated and reminded, "Don't chop it anymore. If you chop it any more, the pot will be empty."
Wang Cuicui came to her senses after hearing Wu Mama's reminder. She poured the meat into a bowl and handed it to Wu Mama. Wu Mama sighed and asked, "How can I use this?"
"Grandma Wu, did the man that Sister Lu Nong married before treat her badly?" Wang Cuicui couldn't help but want to ask Mother Wu about Lu Nong.
Mother Wu looked at her strangely and said vigilantly, "Why are you asking this?"
She noticed that something was wrong with the little girl just now. She looked at Pei Ji'an with shyness and unnatural eyes, and looked at Nongnong with hostility.
"No, nothing, I just think Sister Lu Nong and Uncle Pei are a good match." Wang Cuicui was embarrassed, and realized that she asked something she shouldn't have asked, which aroused others' suspicion, so she could only compliment her insincerely.
Mother Wu covered her mouth and smiled, "Oh, little girl, you are right. Look outside. Aren't they a match made in heaven when they stand together? They are a perfect match, a perfect match, and a loving couple..."
Wang Cuicui: "..." Old lady, you are quite cultured.
Every word Mother Wu said stabbed an arrow into Wang Cuicui's heart, and Wang Cuicui's heart was almost broken into eight pieces. But Mother Wu still felt that it was not enough, and added: "Speaking of love, this time she came out because Auntie felt sorry for Nongnong and was tired of staying at home, so she took the whole family out to relax."
After hearing this, Wang Cuicui's eyes turned red, and Mother Wu curled her lips, and stopped while she was ahead.
Lu Nong brought the washed vegetables into the kitchen and saw Wang Cuicui's eyes were red. She lowered her head and ignored everyone. She looked at Wu Ma in confusion. Wu Ma avoided Lu Nong's eyes with a guilty conscience.
Wang Cuicui wiped her eyes and said, forcing a smile: "This pepper is too spicy. Sister Lu Nong made a fool of you."
"What's so embarrassing about this? Wash it with water." Lu Nong followed her words to comfort her. After she finished speaking, she heard the squad leader Lao Wang calling her in the yard. She quickly responded and walked out the door.
As soon as she walked out of the door, she saw squad leader Lao Wang holding a backpack and handing her a basket, "Sister-in-law, we have finished eating the cabbage and radishes at home. You and Lao Pei go to the field and dig a basket. Lao Pei knows where the vegetable field is. Let him take you there."
Lun Nong walked out of the door with the backpack and saw Pei Ji'an leaning on the hoe and holding a lit cigarette in his other hand. The smoke was drifting, but Pei Ji'an never took a puff.
Lun Nong was slightly startled. This was the first time she saw Pei Ji'an smoking. She thought Pei Ji'an didn't smoke.
Pei Ji'an saw Lu Nong coming and put out his cigarette. Seeing her staring at the cigarette in his hand, he said, "Lao Wang likes to smoke, let's go."
The implication is that he doesn't like smoking.
The two of them rushed to the vegetable field one after the other. When they arrived, they saw a bare patch of mud. Lu Nong realized that what squad leader Lao Wang said about "digging vegetables" was really digging.
After the cabbage is pulled out, in order to better store it, a big hole will be dug in the ground and stored in the cellar, and then it will be dug out when it is time to eat.
No wonder they need a hoe.
Radishes can be pulled directly. Lu Nong and Pei Ji'an divided the work and cooperated. She pulled radishes and Pei Ji'an dug cabbages.
Lu Nong didn't have much strength, and he pulled out a few cabbages after a long time of sweating. He looked up and saw Pei Ji'an had taken off his clothes. When he raised the hoe, the outline of his muscles was faintly visible through a layer of clothes.
The sun was scorching the ground at noon. The cabbages were buried deep, and the soil was thick and hard, making it difficult to dig. Pei Ji'an was sweating profusely. He unbuttoned his clothes, and the sweat slid deeper along his muscles.
Slurp, who is drooling? Oh, it's me, that's all right.
Lu Nong stole a few glances at him at first, and then stared at him intently.
After digging out the vegetables, Pei Ji'an caught Lu Nong's sight and looked down at his sweat-soaked shirt, which had already spread to his pants. He stopped what he was doing, wiped his sweat, took off his wet shirt, and put on his coat.
After being caught, Lu Nong retracted his sight, but his eyes stopped, and his mind was still savoring the scene he had just seen. Oh my god, Pei Ji'an, who was working in sweat, was so sexy.
His temperament was also very contradictory. Usually, he was elegant and calm, and he had the quality of a nobleman from the old times. But when he was asked to work in the fields with his bare chest, he was unambiguous and skilled like a man who had been doing farm work in the village all year round.
Can be elegant or vulgar.
Lu Nong was lost in thought and didn't notice her feet. When she raised her foot, she saw something fancy and long passing under her feet, "! Snake!!!!"
She jumped to Pei Ji'an in two or three steps. Pei Ji'an held her tightly. The snake was also frightened by her and ran away.
After a long time, Lu Nong was still hiding in Pei Ji'an's arms and trembling, "It's over. I must have been bitten by a snake. What should I do? Am I going to die?"
Pei Ji'an: "..."
"No bite." Pei Ji'an patted Lu Nong's back to comfort her. It was true that she didn't bite. She ran much faster than the snake. Besides, it was just a rat snake, not poisonous.
"I don't believe it." Lu Nong felt her legs numb, and she must have been bitten by a snake.
Pei Ji'an was helpless, "Then come down first and I'll check you out."
Lunong hesitated and shook her head. She didn't dare to get off the ground now, for fear of encountering a snake again.
Pei Ji'an sighed and just held the little ancestor like this.
After a while, Lunong recovered and turned her legs and neck. It seemed that she was really fine. Then she noticed that her and Pei Ji'an's postures were not right. Pei Ji'an had a wave of heat after work mixed with male hormones rushing towards Lunong. She lowered her head and could see Pei Ji'an's perfect chin and rolling Adam's apple.
Lunong swallowed her saliva and touched Pei Ji'an's hard muscles dishonestly.
Pei Ji'an: "..."
With her soft fragrance in his arms, she flirted with him without knowing whether to live or die, and after flirting, she didn't care about whether to kill him or bury him. Pei Ji'an almost laughed out of anger.
He really laughed out loud, and a low sound came from his chest. The clothes between the two of them, which were only separated by a layer of fabric, vibrated and rubbed slightly. Lu Nong lowered his head and kissed Pei Ji'an.
If Pei Ji'an could hold back, he would not be a normal man.
He turned the tables, and his lips and teeth intertwined, with a smell of inferior tobacco, playing with Lu Nong's small tongue.
After a long time, Pei Ji'an let go of the already limp Lu Nong, and said two ambiguous words above her head: "Interest."
Lu Nong was in a daze, feeling that she was at a disadvantage but also not at a disadvantage.
Hmm? She seemed to see Wang Cuicui standing not far away.
No!
Wang Cuicui was really standing there.
Pei Ji'an obviously saw Wang Cuicui as well, frowned slightly, patted Lu Nong on the back and put her down, "Can you stand up?"
Lu Nong's eyes were still wet, her lips were wet, she tried to stand up straight, and then... began to button Pei Ji'an's clothes to the top.
Pei Ji'an must not be seen naked by other women!
Pei Ji'an was speechless, but let her do what she wanted.
Wang Cuicui didn't know what she was thinking. Not only did she watch the whole thing, she didn't leave after watching it. It would have been fine if she didn't leave, but now she actually walked towards the two of them.
Wang Cuicui said reluctantly, "Uncle Pei, the meal is ready but you haven't come back yet. My father asked me to call you."
Pei Ji'an looked at her coldly and said, "I know. You go back first. We'll go back after we clean up the dishes."
Wang Cuicui bit her lip, a struggling look appeared on her face, and finally said, "Okay, then I'll go back first."
After saying that, she turned around and left quickly. She was afraid that if she stayed for another second, she would burst into tears, although she was not feeling much better now.
She gave up.
Wang Cuicui had never seen Pei Ji'an show so many expressions of joy, anger, sorrow and happiness. He was always calm, confident, stable and reliable in front of everyone, but he was different in front of Lu Nong.
He would be helpless, anxious, satisfied and happy... and hold her tightly.
What can she do if she is unwilling? She gave her heart to Pei Ji'an, and Pei Ji'an also gave his heart to another woman. In this respect, they are the same.
Lu Nong looked at Wang Cuicui who was walking faster and faster, shook her head and sighed, male beauty is tempting, male beauty is tempting.
Pei Ji'an was very indifferent to this, and quickly helped Lu Nong to pull out her unfinished radish business. After pulling out, he packed up a basket, carried the basket and walked back: "Let's go, go back to eat."
"Wait for me." Lu Nong was afraid of encountering snakes again, and didn't even care to sigh, chasing after Pei Ji'an.
When they got home, Wang Cuicui's expression was no longer visible. The table was full of delicious dishes. Pei Zheng and Gu Huai sat in their seats obediently waiting for their biological father and stepmother/biological mother and stepfather to come back.
Squad leader Lao Wang enthusiastically took out a large cup of deer blood wine and poured it to Pei Jinan, "Brother, drink it."
"..." Lu Nong almost spit out a mouthful of water. Let's just say that squad leader Lao Wang is really a talent. He doesn't say any nonsense. Drink it, brother.
Pei Ji'an blocked him, "We have to drive soon, so we can't drink."
Squad leader Lao Wang choked, knowing that no one could change Pei Ji'an's decision, and rolled his eyes, "Okay, if you can't drink deer blood wine, you can drink deer blood, right?"
"Here, deer blood!" He poured the deer blood wine for himself and a full cup of deer blood for Pei Ji'an, "Can you drink it now?"
Pei Ji'an took it, leaned back in the chair, and said in a playful manner, "I drink, but you don't?"
Squad leader Lao Wang snorted, "Drink, why not? I'm risking my life to accompany a gentleman today."
Pei Zheng looked at his father, then at squad leader Lao Wang, why did he feel a sense of gunpowder? Did something happen that he didn't know about?
No way, he has been with Uncle Wang all the time, if his father really had a conflict with Uncle Wang, how could he not know?
Strange thing.
Lu Nong pursed his lips, thinking that squad leader Wang might know that Wang Cuicui liked Pei Ji'an. He was angry at Pei Ji'an, and Pei Ji'an didn't respond. The two might start a quarrel.
As expected, the two of them drank a glass of deer blood wine, and neither of them would admit defeat.
Others wanted to persuade them, but they didn't even know how to persuade them. Everyone could see that they were not in a good mood, but the two of them were talking and laughing, and their faces were flawless. Persuading them seemed like provoking them.
Lu Nong simply lowered his head to eat. Pei Zheng and Wu Ma saw that Lu Nong didn't care, so they couldn't care less, and they also lowered their heads to eat their own meals.
Wang Cuicui looked at her father who was about to say something but stopped, and she couldn't help but tugged at her father's clothes, but was intimidated by a look from squad leader Wang.
After the meal, squad leader Lao Wang's face turned red, but Pei Jinan remained calm.
When they arrived, squad leader Lao Wang patted Pei Jinan on the shoulder and said, "Brother, you are my brother, my forever comrade-in-arms, please understand me..."
He didn't say the rest, but Pei Jinan knew it well. He shook hands with squad leader Lao Wang, and everything was said without words. The silent smoke and discord dissipated in the wine.
When the Pei family was leaving, Squad Leader Lao Wang packed a trunk full of local specialties for them. It is worth mentioning that it contained the deer antlers and wind-dried deer blood that he had promised them before.
Lu Nong: “…” You are worthy of being me, Lao Wang.
Plans could not keep up with the changes. They originally wanted to go further north, but they spent too much time on the farm and had to return.
After getting in the car, Lu Nong was worried that Pei Jianan might feel unwell after drinking too much deer blood. "Are you okay? If you're not feeling well, we can leave tomorrow."
Pei Jinan shook his head, "It's okay, I won't joke about your safety. Besides, it's inappropriate."
It is indeed inappropriate. I believe that Squad Leader Wang is eager for Pei Jinan to leave as soon as possible.
Over there, Wang Cuicui and Lao Wang stood at the farm gate, watching the jeep disappear into the dust.
"She's gone, don't think about her anymore." Squad leader Lao Wang said seriously with his hands behind his back without even looking at the young lady.
Wang Cuicui suddenly looked at her father beside her, "Dad? Why are you..."
"How should I know?" Squad Leader Lao Wang exhaled, "I found out too late. If I had known my daughter had this idea earlier, I would never have let Pei Ji'an come."
Wang Cuicui bit her lip: "It's not his fault, it's my fault."
"Of course it's none of his business," Lao Wang said darkly. "If it were his business, I'd beat him to death."
"Girl, give up as soon as possible. You two are not a match for each other. Even if I don't stop you, it's not that I look down on you, but you can't subdue Pei Ji'an." Squad leader Lao Wang said.
Wang Cuicui was not convinced and wanted to refute, but when the words came to her mouth, she couldn't continue. Without Lu Nong, could she really get Pei Jinan?
Thinking of Pei Ji'an's bone-chilling indifference, Wang Cuicui shuddered and completely gave up.
