"Haha, people in our village usually do a lot of farm work, so shoveling some snow is nothing." Yang Hong said with a smile.
"Impossible, we..." Xu Ling wanted to say something else, but was interrupted: "Let's talk inside, it's quite cold outside."
Jia Qian also pulled Xu Ling into the house. Shoveling snow by hand? If Yang Hong told these words to some city kids who had never been out of school, they might be intimidated. But Jia Qian and her friends were children of farmers. They grew up in the fields and knew exactly how much work farmers could do in a day.
But Yang Hong obviously doesn't want to tell them the truth. Wouldn't it make both sides awkward if you go up and ask again?
Yang Hong's home was different from most of the two-story houses in the village. His home consisted of several bungalows. At this moment, besides them, there was only an old woman busy in the kitchen.
Seeing that the food might still take a while to be ready, Xu Ling and the other two felt embarrassed to just sit there waiting, so they went to help in the kitchen.
Only Li Mu and Yang Hong were left in the living room chatting idly.
Half an hour later, a table of steaming hot food was served.
"Haha, it's just simple food. The situation is different now than before, so we eat more simply. I hope you don't mind." Yang Hong greeted Li Mu and others.
"It doesn't matter. It's good to have a stutter these days. Thank you for your hospitality, old village chief." Li Mu said.
In fact, the table that Yang Hong treated Li Mu and his friends to was quite good in the end times. A fish, half a chicken, and a small bucket of rice were things that ordinary families in the city would never dare to think about.
As Li Mu spoke, he put his hands into his arms, using his coat as a cover, and took out a bottle of fine wine diluted from the immortal wine from the Qiankun Ring. He opened the bottle cap and said to Yang Hong and his wife, "Would you like some?"
Since Li Mu’s old classmates on Earth were all ordinary people, they could not withstand the energy contained in the immortal wine. For convenience, Li Mu diluted a lot of the immortal wine and placed it in the Qiankun Ring.
The moment Li Mu opened the bottle, the rich aroma of wine spread out. Yang Hong took a deep breath and couldn't help but exclaimed in his heart: "Good wine!"
Yang Hong doesn't have many hobbies in his life, but drinking is one of his hobbies. Before the snowstorm, Yang Hong would brew some wine with grains. However, the snowstorm lasted for so long that he had already finished drinking all the wine he had stored. Now the temperature is minus 70 to 80 degrees Celsius, so he has to boil water for drinking, or else the boiled water will freeze into hard ice lumps within half an hour. Moreover, grains are too precious now, and even if the external conditions allow, he is reluctant to use the grains that can save his life to brew wine.
However, although Yang Hong was greedy, he still reluctantly rejected Li Mu's kindness.
Li Mu saw his concerns and was afraid that Yang Hong still did not trust him and was afraid that Yang Hong had poisoned the wine, so he picked up the bottle and poured himself a small bowl and drank it all.
"Brother Li Mu, I want to drink too." Xu Ling said eagerly.
"Haha, if you want to drink, just pour it yourself. I'm not your parent." Li Mu said with a smile.
"Thank you, Brother Li Mu." Xu Ling smiled happily, trotted to Li Mu, took the wine bottle, and poured a small bowl for herself.
Then he couldn't wait to take a sip, and his eyes suddenly lit up, thinking to himself: "How can there be such a delicious thing in this world?"
It's not like she hasn't drunk alcohol before, whether it's white, red, or beer, including foreign liquors, she has tried them all, but she only "tasted" them. In her opinion, the so-called fine wines all have a strange taste and are too hard to swallow. If she has the free time, she might as well drink a couple of cups of milk tea!
Seeing Xu Ling's intoxicated look, Jia Qian and Guo Xinyi were also eager to try, but before they could do anything, Xu Ling filled their cups and said to them excitedly, "Hurry up and try it, this is good stuff!"
"Is it that exaggerated?" Jia Qian and the others were skeptical, but they still took a sip and were immediately stunned. This reaction was no different from Xu Ling's.
Then they started drinking by themselves, forgetting that they were guests at the old village chief's house.
"Um... young friend, can I..." Yang Hong finally couldn't help it and pointed at the wine bottle on the table, somewhat embarrassedly. Li Mu and the others were fine after drinking, so he had nothing to worry about.
"Haha, you are too polite. This wine is originally brought out for everyone to enjoy. In such a cold environment, wouldn't it be nice to drink some wine to warm up the body?" Li Mu said with a smile.
As Li Mu spoke, he took out another bottle of wine from his arms and handed it to Yang Hong. However, Yang Hong hesitated again. Li Mu and the others had never drunk this bottle of wine!
Seeing this, Li Mu smiled bitterly, unscrewed the bottle and poured himself a bowl, then drank it all in one gulp, and then handed the bottle to Yang Hong.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Yang Hong couldn't help but blush. He felt that he was judging others by his own standards, so he took the bottle of wine awkwardly and poured a bowl for himself and his wife respectively.
Then he picked up the rooster bowl of wine, gestured to Li Mu, and drank it all in one gulp.
"Good wine!" Yang Hong exclaimed. The taste of this wine was simply amazing. The moment he drank this wine, Yang Hong felt that all the wine he had drunk over the years was in vain. What kind of crap was that? He drank it for so many years and still missed it! He swore that even if the snowstorm was over, he would never drink those ordinary wines again. If he couldn't drink this good wine in front of him, he would rather quit drinking!
Yang Hong's wife Li Xiuqin also had an intoxicated look on her face at this time. She never drank alcohol before, and she was very puzzled to see Yang Hong drink two glasses every day. She often scolded Yang Hong for this, but now she finally understood Yang Hong's mentality.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, everyone except Li Mu was a little tipsy. But don't think they are still sober now, the aftereffect of this wine is strong. If they go back and lie on the bed now, they may not be able to get out of bed until tomorrow night. This is the result of Li Mu diluting the fairy wine over and over again.
At this time, Yang Hong, who was drunk, looked at Xu Ling and the other two and was absent-minded for a while, but he soon realized that he had lost his composure, so he quickly explained to Li Mu: "Don't misunderstand, my friends, I was just thinking about my granddaughter who is studying in another province."
Speaking of their granddaughter, Li Xiuqin's eyes turned red and she sighed, "Oh~ I don't know how Xiaojing is doing now. That girl didn't go home during the summer vacation and even said she wanted to work and study to reduce our burden! Now she is trapped in another place alone, who knows how much suffering she has to endure!" Li Xiuqin covered her face and cried.
Upon hearing that the old couple's granddaughter was still out of town, Xu Ling and the other two fell silent. They came from Haidu and naturally knew how difficult it was for people in the city. Moreover, she was a helpless student who would have died long ago... Xu Ling and the other two sighed inwardly, if they hadn't met Li Mu, how could they have survived until now?
