The food was put on the table, with meat and vegetables mixed in. From presentation to taste, it was a standard farm meal.

The hard dishes are all dry goods, which is really good.

The vegetarian dishes are extremely refreshing and crisp, and the pickles are also full of flavor.

Yang Huaming brought out a jar of Shaodaozi wine and filled it up for everyone.

When Liu Xueyun arrived, he hesitated a little, but still let his bowl go and let Yang Huaming pour it for him.

Yang Ruoqing knew the connection between Liu Xueyun and Shaodaozijiu. Shaodaozijiu brought him care from his wife, but Shaodaozijiu also reminded him of the pain of losing his beloved wife.

So basically, Yang Ruoqing had seen him drink Shaodaozi wine once, just to drown his sorrows.

I drank again today, what’s the reason?

Sad? Or happy?

He had mentioned a few times before that the facial features of the third girl were very similar to those of his deceased wife. It seemed that today's burning knife and drinking had nothing to do with sadness and happiness, but brought back memories!

Yang Huaming is accustomed to atmosphere, and he can control the atmosphere at the wine table just right.

Mrs. Liu is a talkative person, and as long as she is around, she will never be left alone.

As for Yang Ruoqing, since she came here to accompany Liu Xueyun to the banquet, in order not to be left alone, she would naturally cooperate with Liu and Yang Huaming in chatting and laughing.

Everyone knows that Luo Fengtang is taciturn, so in this situation, Liu Xueyun, who is not good at words, will not appear out of the blue.

A few occasional words can also make Yang Huaming, who is good at dancing, feel the satisfaction and comfort of the guests.

"Brother Liu, I heard from Qing'er that your hometown is in Changle County?" Yang Huaming asked with a friendly smile during the dinner.

Liu Xueyun put down the chopsticks with which he was gifted and replied seriously, "Exactly."

Mrs. Liu asked, "Where is Changle County? I have never heard of this place..."

Yang Huaming deliberately glared at Mrs. Liu, "What do you know, you woman? Changle County is to the north of Huguang County, and it is adjacent to our Wanghai County to the north, right, Brother Liu?"

Liu Xueyun nodded, "Yes, it's a neighboring county."

Yang Huaming asked about Liu Xueyun's relatives again.

Liu Xueyun was silent for a moment and said truthfully, "My parents have been gone since early years. I have no brothers or sisters in the family. My only wife also passed away nearly two years ago."

As for those uncles, aunts, and cousins, they are not worth mentioning at all, because those people cannot be considered relatives at all.

Liu Xueyun's experience made both Yang Huaming and Liu unable to help but feel sympathy.

A young man loses his parents and a young man loses his wife. God is really harsh on this young man.

The third girl's eye circles were a little red and she almost shed tears.

God is really short-sighted. Brother Liu is such a good person, but his life experience is so miserable. Isn't it often said that good people are rewarded?

After Yang Huaming asked this question, he noticed the change in the atmosphere at the dinner table and immediately cursed himself in his heart.

"Brother Liu's experience has been a bit bumpy, but God will give you great responsibilities. Look, you are young and promising now, so many people look up to you and envy you!" Yang Huaming said again.

Ms. Liu also said, "Yes, yes, why does a real man have to worry about not having a wife? Brother Liu, have you said that we are married now? If not, how about you tell the fourth aunt and she can help you draw a red line?"

After drinking a few cups of Shao Dao, the past memories were brought back to Liu Xueyun's mood.

As soon as Mrs. Liu said these words, he raised his head in shock, met Mrs. Liu's frighteningly bright eyes, and suddenly didn't know how to respond.

Mrs. Liu patted her chest and vowed, "You can absolutely rest assured about the red thread that the fourth aunt pulled for you. It is an iron wire that can be chopped with an axe. What do you think?"

Liu Xueyun came back to his senses and shook his head decisively, "Xueyun accepts my fourth aunt's kindness. Since my wife passed away, my heart has been filled with despair. I have no intention of marrying again in this life."

Ms. Liu was dumbfounded.

In fact, what she said just now was just to dilute the depressed atmosphere, so she said it deliberately and to change the topic.

If she really had the ability to pull people off, she wouldn't have been able to marry the third girl even when she was sixteen years old!

Liu Xueyun's decisive answer left Ms. Liu at a loss as to how to proceed.

Yang Huaming came to the rescue: "Xueyun drank too much and talked drunkenly. You are so young, only in your early twenties, right? How can you just say that you will never marry? Hahaha..."

Liu Xueyun glanced at Yang Huaming and said seriously, "Fourth uncle, I'm not drunk. I'm telling the truth. It doesn't matter who asks me, including Sister Qing'er."

"Ah?" Yang Huaming was stunned for a moment, then looked at Yang Ruoqing.

Yang Ruoqing shrugged, looking helpless.

Luo Fengtang, on the other hand, buried himself in his food and deliberately avoided these topics.

He is aware of Liu Xueyun's situation, and he admires Liu Xueyun's persistence towards his deceased wife.

Yang Huaming then found a place for himself to get off. "Well, I didn't expect Xueyun to be a man of long-lasting love. There are very few men in this world who can be as long-lasting of love as Xueyun."

Mrs. Liu reacted and quickly nodded in agreement.

The three girls got up and went to the kitchen without saying a word.

Soon she came back with a big bowl of rice in her hand.

"Brother Liu, don't drink the wine. I'll pack some food for you." The third girl came to Liu Xueyun's side and said with a smile.

Liu Xueyun nodded and was about to stretch out the empty bowl in front of him when Yang Huaming stopped him.

"Don't be in a hurry to eat. Come on, Xueyun, let's drink the wine in this bowl."

Yang Huaming raised his wine bowl to Liu Xueyun and toasted.

In his concept, greeting guests and women means eating, and men means drinking well.

If you don't make people drink and lie down, then you haven't greeted them properly.

"Dad, Brother Liu has already drank several bowls. You can't drink any more." The third girl advised.

"How about you drink with your brother-in-law, or you can drink it yourself." The third girl said again.

Luo Fengtang smiled and said, "I've finished drinking too. Fourth uncle, please help yourself."

Yang Huaming lowered his face and scolded the three girls, "What do you know about this girl? This is called hospitality. If you don't understand, don't mess with it."

Liu Xueyun stood up and reached for his wine bowl, but a white hand took it away first.

It's the third girl.

"What are you doing, girl? Why are you robbing Xueyun's wine bowl?" Yang Huaming became nervous.

I thought to myself, is this girl not used to being persuaded to drink by herself, so she wants to pour the wine from her savior? Oh, this is really a childish idea of ​​a girl!

Just when Yang Huaming was anxious, the three girls picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

This move shocked everyone at the table.

This is Shao Daozi, not fruit wine or glutinous rice wine.

Even the old men in the village who had been soaking in soju all their lives couldn't help but frown after drinking it. The third girl, a flower-like girl, who was as gentle and quiet as a green willow tree, turned out to be the same person.

He drank the wine in one breath without even frowning.

"Dad, didn't you say that the wine bowl must be bottomed out before eating? Now that Brother Liu's wine bowl is bottomed out, can he eat?"

The third girl pointed the empty bowl at Yang Huaming and asked her questions one by one.
