Siheyuan: Get the system at the beginning

Chapter 65 The Last Glass of Wine

He Yushui said somewhat embarrassedly,

"It was my negligence. You drank this rainwater."

He Yuzhu then realized that he had just poured wine for his sister, and awkwardly replaced it with Arctic Ocean soda.

"Zhu Zi is really my silly grandson, how could he have made such a mistake?"

The deaf old lady laughed heartily, and looked at He Yuzhu with such doting and loving eyes that Zhang Xiaoyan, who was sitting diagonally opposite, shivered when she saw it.

After five dishes and three rounds of wine, it was Chinese New Year so everyone tried to liven up the atmosphere, especially He Yuzhu, who told jokes he heard from somewhere, filling the table with laughter.

Zhang Xiaoyan was also happy to hear this, but the occasional glances from the other party made her eat less.

I have to say that they prepared quite enough. There were chicken, duck, fish, fat meat and ribs on the table. Sha Zhu's cooking skills are also recognized, so the color, aroma and taste were fully brought into play.

It didn't matter if Zhang Xiaoyan was eating. She was just listening to He Yuzhu's jokes while paying attention to the expressions of the other people, so it didn't waste any time.

The deaf old lady suddenly felt her foot being stepped on. The force was not strong but it reminded her. She looked at the person who stepped on her foot calmly, drank the last mouthful of soup, coughed her throat and said cheerfully:

"My dear grandson, I know you are a filial son. Hurry up and eat a few more bites. You have been busy all night. Stop talking."

"Don't worry, old lady. I'm eating right now! Have another piece of steamed pork with rice flour. Look at how I didn't let up on the heat today. It's so soft."

He Yuzhu was interrupted but didn't care. He moved his chopsticks straight to the steamed pork with rice flour, picked up a piece and handed it to the deaf old lady.

"Alright, alright, I know you're filial. I've eaten enough tonight, you guys take your time eating. I can't eat too much at my age, but call me when you're almost done, and we'll have a drink together to finish it off."

The deaf old lady said happily, and the old lady also put down her chopsticks and said that she had finished eating, and was going to help the old lady.

"Don't be impatient! Old lady, if you don't want to eat, you can sit here and listen! Look how lively we young people are talking here, and you ran to sit in a corner alone. If someone doesn't know, they would think we are treating you harshly."

He Yuzhu refused to accept it, put down the wine glass he was about to drink, and looked disapproving.

After hearing what the deaf old lady said, Zhang Xiaoyan also knew the other party's idea. She snorted in her heart and glanced calmly at He Yushui who had also come to his senses.

However, He Yushui just thought that the other party had lost face several times, and might be thinking of putting laxatives or something in the last glass of wine to embarrass the other party. He despised the other party's behavior and was thinking about how to remind Zhang Xiaoyan. As a result, when he looked up, the two of them happened to make eye contact.

"Yushui, if you are full, go back and rest early! I heard that you are very tired from reading these two days. Besides, today is New Year's Eve and there is no one at home. This is not good."

"you…"

"What's the matter? I left the lights on in my house when I left, so it doesn't matter how long I stay here."

He Yushui was interrupted by Zhang Xiaoyan. After hearing what she said, she knew that she was trying to get rid of him, so she nodded and said with a smile:

"Old lady, uncle and aunt, Sister Yanzi is right. I have decided to go to medical school these two days, so I stayed up a little late. I have finished my meal and will go back first. I wish you a happy new year again! I won't bother you here anymore."

"Alright, alright, what's the point of you being here, little girl? Go back now!"

He Yuzhu didn't think much when he saw his sister was leaving. He just thought that she was just lazy and didn't want to clean up the dishes later. He immediately waved his arm in annoyance. He felt that he had spoiled his sister too much. She only knew how to read books all day long and had no interest in life, unlike Sister Qin who was busy all day long.

No one at the table paid any attention to He Yuzhu, and He Yushui also ignored him and left after finishing his words.

"Come on, we've almost finished eating tonight. Your aunt and I are going to go back to rest. Let's finish this glass of wine and put a perfect end to tonight's reunion."

After He Yushui left, Yi Zhonghai threw two peanuts into his mouth, picked up the glass of wine his wife poured for him, stood up from his seat, and said sanctimoniously,

"This pot of wine is kept warm, waiting for you to drink."

The lady held a beautiful little wine pot in her hand and filled every wine glass on the table with wine, saying happily,

"You said you'd rest for a while and come back, so let's drink first. You two young people probably haven't finished eating yet, so just eat slowly here. I'm old, there's nothing I can do."

As she spoke, she raised her wine glass and looked at the two young men at the table with eager eyes. Zhang Xiaoyan touched the warm wine glass because it was filled with hot wine and smiled. She stood up from her seat and said softly and politely:

"Thanks to all of you for not abandoning me. This is the most lively New Year's Eve dinner I have ever had. This is my last drink. I wish you all a happy new year! May the old lady live a long life."

"Let's wish the old lady a long life."

He Yuzhu also stood up with a cup in his hand, happily echoing Zhang Xiaoyan's words.

Several people drank the wine in their glasses in one gulp with smiles on their faces. After noticing that the other person's glass was empty, they each had their own thoughts.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work tonight. You young people, take your time eating and chatting. I'll be leaving now."

The deaf old lady was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. She walked directly to her bedroom next door to rest without anyone's help, leaning on her crutches.

After Yi Zhonghai and his wife put down their cups, Yi Zhonghai glanced at the still cheerful Sha Zhu calmly, said a few polite words, smiled at his wife and left.

He Yuzhu's face turned red, and he didn't know if it was because of the alcohol or because he was thinking about something too happily.

"I didn't expect Chef He's cooking skills to be so good. Thank you for your cooking tonight. I'm done eating too. It's getting late now, so I'll go back first. Bye."

After Zhang Xiaoyan and others left, they looked at the silly He Yuzhu with a smile, left a polite word, and turned away without any hesitation. Of course, when they left, they did not forget to take away the two plates of dishes they brought, which still contained the peppers.

He Yuzhu didn't even have the chance to say anything to keep the person, after all, this opportunity today was too rare. In the end, he didn't expect that he still missed the chance. He cursed in his heart and was about to get up but found that he had no strength all over his body. He thought he was drunk, and in order to avoid making a fool of himself, he sat in his seat without moving.
