After the call, he said to Wang Caixia,"Just having good wine won't do. Go and cook two good dishes!”
Wang Caixia quickly went to the kitchen.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door. The owner of the tobacco and alcohol shop had brought wine.
He held two bottles of Maotai in his hand and said with a smile,"Boss Chu, I've hidden these two bottles of wine for ten years. I won't sell them to anyone who wants to buy them. Since you're happy today, it's yours!"
Chu Gensheng took a look and saw that there were two bottles of Moutai Prince Wine. It was indeed rare to find a Maotai-flavored wine.
He nodded gratefully. How much?"
The boss shook his head." I'll treat your family to drinks. It's free."”
"How can it be free!" Chu Gensheng disagreed." These two bottles of wine are not cheap. I can't let you suffer a loss!”
Chu Gensheng had already taken out the money, but the boss was even faster. He put the two bottles of wine on the ground and left with a smile.
In the blink of an eye, he disappeared.
Wang Caixia brought the dishes to the table and saw this scene.
Everyone knew that the owner of this tobacco and alcohol shop was shrewd. The neighbors in the building had been neighbors for more than ten years. It was difficult to drink a cup of free tea in his shop.
However, the two bottles of wine on the ground were genuine Maotai.
Chu Gensheng and his wife looked at each other helplessly and emotionally.
"What else is there to say?" Wang Caixia said."He saw that our son has made a name for himself, so he put in a lot of effort to curry favor with us."”
Chu Gensheng nodded and picked up the Mao Tai." Alright, I'll take advantage of my son!”
There was a sumptuous feast on the dining table. There was a lot of chicken, duck, fish, and seafood.
Chu Gensheng opened the bottle of Maotai. Instantly, the room was filled with the rich aroma of alcohol.
"It smells so good!" Chu Li exclaimed.”
Chu Bai also felt that it was fragrant, but he didn't know much about wine and wasn't very interested.
Chu Gensheng poured Maotai for his wife and son. His daughter was too young, so he replaced it with fruit juice.
He raised his glass and said proudly,""Come, let's toast to Chu Bai first. Chu Bai, you saved 36 people. Even your dad couldn't believe it! Daddy is proud of you!"
After saying that, he finished the small cup of Maotai.
Wang Caixia also drank a cup.
Seeing this, Chu Bai could only drink.
Then, Chu Gensheng filled his family's cups and raised his glass again."This second cup of wine is to congratulate Chu Bai for obtaining first-class merit!”
His mood immediately became high." A first-class military merit. To be honest, I've only seen it on television and in the news. I really didn't expect my Chu family to get a first-class merit! Cheers!"
The more Chu Gensheng drank, the more excited he became. Then, he toasted the ancestors of the Chu family and so on.
Chu Bai drank two or three cups before putting down his cup.
Wang Caixia continued to drink with her husband.
After three rounds of wine, Chu Gensheng's face was flushed red. He patted Chu Bai's shoulder and said what was on his mind.
"Brat, you didn't like to talk when you were young, and your academic results were average. At that time, I thought that you wouldn't be successful when you grew up.”
"I didn't expect that I would be wrong! But I'm happy, especially happy. You taught Dad a lesson. You've slapped my face and made me proud!”
"To be honest, when your mother called me today and said that you got first-class merit, my friends looked at me strangely.”
"Hahaha, I, Chu Gensheng, have never been as happy as I am today!”
"I told you long ago, your eyesight isn't good!" Wang Caixia said proudly. I'm different from you. I've always thought that my son would become a successful person!”
Chu Bai was speechless.
According to the memories in his mind, he vaguely remembered that during the time when the Host was dispirited at home, the one who nagged the most was Wang Caixia.
Chu Gensheng was still alright. Although he was a little disappointed, he did not give anything less.
Chu Bai had expected that the news of the first-class merit would definitely affect his life.
Seeing Wang Caixia and Chu Gensheng so arrogant, it seemed that the first wave of influence would definitely come from them.
At this moment, he realized that the seat on his left was empty.
Chu Li was originally sitting there eating.
He looked up and saw a sneaky little figure beside Wang Caixia.
She was secretly picking up Wang Caixia's wine glass.
Chu Li, what are you doing?" Chu Bai asked.
Wang Caixia and Chu Gensheng turned around at the same time.
The wine glass in Chu Li's hand was just about to reach her mouth.
Wang Caixia was stunned and immediately took the cup back." How can a child drink?!"”
"You can drink it, why can't I?" Chu Li pouted.”
"We're adults, and we're drinking because we're happy for your brother today.”
Chu Li was even more indignant." But I'm happy too. Why can't I drink it?"”
Wang Caixia was dizzy. She was stumped by the child's question.
Chu Bai gestured for Chu Li to sit back down beside him.
He picked up two glasses and poured some fruit juice into them.
"You want to congratulate me too, don't you? I'll toast to you.”Chu Bai raised his cup.
Chu Li nodded obediently and raised her glass as well.
"Don't you want to say something to me before we toast?" Chu Bai asked.”
Chu Li nodded vigorously.”
Thank you, Xiao Li!"
The two glasses clinked together.
Chu Li imitated the adults and downed a glass of fruit juice, giggling happily.
Chu Gensheng and Wang Caixia looked at each other in relief. Their son, Chu Bai, was really sensible now.
……
At this moment.
In the depths of an alley in Linxia City, there was an old but clean courtyard. Clothes were drying while wood was piled up.
This was the home of the old carpenter, Old Man Li.
The old man went to bed early. After nine o'clock, he turned off the lights and prepared to rest.
Suddenly, a series of hurried knocks broke the silence of the small courtyard.
Old Man Li put on his coat in confusion and got out of bed to open the door. He saw Big Sister Liu from the street office standing outside.
Big Sister Liu was panting and sweating profusely.
Old Man Li thought that something big had happened and quickly asked,"What's wrong?"
Big Sister Liu said anxiously," Quick, make a plaque. I want to make a plaque. The faster, the better."”
Old Man Li instantly frowned." You look like you're on fire. Are you asking me to make a plaque?"”
Big Sis Liu quickly nodded.
Old Man Li placed his hands behind his back and lay down on a chair in the courtyard." We've known each other for a long time. Don't you know that I don't take urgent jobs?"”
Old Man Li had been a carpenter all his life and was famous for his skills.
Even though furniture factories were everywhere now and all of them were mechanized, people who cared about quality would still come to Old Man Li to order furniture.
Old Man Li never lacked work. On the contrary, if one wanted to order from him, they had to make an appointment in advance.
As for how long this thing would be made and when it would be delivered, it had to be according to Old Man Li's wishes.
If the other party was in a hurry, he had to increase the price until Old Man Li was satisfied.
Or perhaps, the other party was a big shot, and Old Man Li had to give him face before reluctantly agreeing.
Where did Sister Liu get the confidence to order him in such a commanding tone?
He was a little curious." Big Sis Liu, what plaque are you making? Why are you in such a hurry?”
