This was Liu Qingqing's first time drinking alcohol, and she drank so much that she choked.

He coughed for a long time, and even tears came out.

Grandma Liu patted her back in a panic to help her calm down.

Everyone expressed their concern.

After a long while, Liu Qingqing finally coughed a little better. She said a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, this is my first time drinking. I didn't expect that the red wine would be so irritating to my throat.

I made everyone laugh. "

Xia Sumu comforted her, "It's like this the first time you drink. It will get better slowly. Songlan's first time drinking was not as good as yours!"

Liu Qingqing's eyes were red, and she said with concern, "Songlan is really pitiful. The family can't be reunited during the New Year.

Jing Mo is the same, he doesn't care about his family and doesn't care about Song Lan's feelings at all."

Originally, the topic of Ning Jingmo's departure had been changed, but Liu Qingqing brought it up again. She seemed to feel sorry for Xia Songlan, but in fact she was stabbing Xia Songlan in the heart.

Grandma and Zhou Sangning looked at Liu Qingqing with resentment in their eyes.

Even my grandfather couldn't stand it anymore. "How can you say it's pitiful? As a soldier's family member, I have to be prepared to face this kind of situation at any time.

Songlan is considered lucky. Jingmo can stay at home as long as he is not on a mission. But there are many soldiers and their families left behind, and they can only be reunited for a few days a year.

But what are they doing this for? Isn’t it so that we ordinary people can have a happy and healthy reunion during the New Year?

We should be proud.”

Grandpa said, pouring himself another cup, "Songlan, grandpa will drink with you. I am proud that you can marry Jing Mo."

Xia Chuanbai quickly poured more red wine for Xia Songlan.

Grandma waved, "Pour some for grandma too. She'll have a drink with us, too."

With the two elders taking the lead, Xia Sumu and Zhou Sangning waited until they finished drinking and then had a drink with Xia Songlan.

Xia Songlan drank three glasses in a row. Although it was red wine, her face had already turned red.

Liu Qingqing picked up the wine glass and stood up, her eyes red with grievance, "Songlan, I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing just now, I'll drink a glass as punishment."

After saying that, he tilted his head back and drank the glass of wine, then coughed for a long time.

But this time, apart from Grandma Liu who was comforting Liu Qingqing with concern, no one else even looked at her.

They just picked up the dishes and asked Xia Songlan to eat them with concern.

Liu Qingqing saw this and felt even more bitter.

Xia Chuanbai poured himself a glass, "Sister, I won't force you to drink more. I'm afraid if you drink another glass of wine, you'll be like what dad said."

Xia Songlan glared at Xia Chuanbai with resentment, "If you want to drink, drink. What do you mean you won't force me to drink? Come on if you dare... I can still drink."

When she spoke, her tongue became a little long.

Zhou Sangning patted Xia Chuanbai beside him and said, "Alright, alright, stop bothering your sister. She has already had three cups, which is not a small amount. I won't let her drink any more today."

No one mentioned drinking anymore and they all started eating.

Liu Qingqing would steal a glance at Xia Songlan from time to time, feeling sour in her heart, "Why? They are all girls."

Xia Songlan was like a treasure held in everyone's hands, and she could only rely on her mother and no one else.

When they were in Baijia Village, anyone could come and bully them, but now that they are in Beijing, they are living under someone else's roof. 】

The more she thought about it, the more sad she felt. While no one was paying attention, she took the bottle and poured herself another glass. This time she didn't drink it all at once, but drank it slowly.

Since I had never drunk alcohol before, I drank so much at once. Although the alcohol content of the red wine was not high, it had a strong aftertaste.

Everyone was chatting excitedly when they heard a bang. Liu Qingqing fell on the table with her forehead hitting the surface hard.

Panicked, Grandma Liu hurried to help Liu Qingqing, "Qingqing, what's wrong? Qingqing."

Xia Sumu reminded from the side: "Isn't this because he drank too much?"

Fortunately, Liu Qingqing was a good drinker. After drinking too much, she would just fall asleep. She would occasionally mumble something, but her voice was very small. In addition, she spoke the dialect of An County, so Xia Songlan and the others could not understand her.

Grandpa hurriedly said, "Junior sister, help Qingqing to the guest room to rest."

Grandma already disliked Liu Qingqing a little because of what she said just now, but seeing that Liu Qingqing was already drunk, and also because they had agreed in advance to let them stay in the courtyard overnight.

He could only call Zhou Sangning, "Sangning, you and your uncle help Qingqing, let's go to the guest room."

The decoration of the guest room is similar to that of a standard hotel room. There are two beds in it, both covered with brand new bedding.

They helped Liu Qingqing lie down on a bed.

Grandma Liu said embarrassedly: "Sister-in-law, Sang Ning, you guys go eat first, I'll stay with Qingqing and will be there soon."

Zhou Sangning, "Uncle Master, don't worry too much. This is the first time you drink. It's useless for you to stay here. Let's go eat together."

Grandma Liu glanced at Liu Qingqing who was already asleep before nodding and going back to the restaurant with her grandmother and the others.

Next, everyone gathered around the table to eat the New Year’s Eve dinner and chat.

During this time, the food got cold. Xia Sumu did not let anyone else help. Instead, he called Xia Chuanbai and the other man to take the food to the kitchen to heat it up.

Just as Zhou Sangning was about to help, Xia Sumu held her shoulder and said, "Madam Xia, please give me a chance to perform in front of my father-in-law and mother-in-law."

Zhou Sangning glanced at him with a smile and did not stand up again.

She sat at the table with peace of mind, chatting with Grandma Liu and the others, and taking care of Ning Ziqing and Ning Tianya from time to time.

Since entering kindergarten, the two little ones have become more independent and don’t need help from others to do anything.

At this moment, they were full. Ning Ziqing raised his little hand and said, "Mom, I'm full. I want to go back to my room to play with my toys."

Ning Tianya also raised her hand obediently, "Mom, I'm full too, I want to go play with my brother."

Xia Songlan had also recovered from the alcohol a little. He looked at the two children and nodded, "Go ahead. Ziqing, take good care of your sister. Tianya, you have to listen to your brother."

After all, my grandparents are old and can’t stay up late, so they went back to their room to sleep before ten o’clock.

Everyone stopped eating and cleaned the table together, then went back to their rooms. No one left today, and everyone stayed in the courtyard.

Before Xia Songlan returned to her room, she went to the two children's rooms respectively and saw that the two little guys had already crawled into bed and were already asleep.

Only then did I feel relieved and return to my room.

They had not planned to leave today, and the bed had already been made in the room. Looking at the two pillows placed side by side at the head of the bed, Xia Songlan's eyes suddenly filled with tears.

She picked up Ning Jingmo's pillow, lay on it, and sniffed it hard. It seemed that there was still the scent of Ning Jingmo.

Xia Songlan originally thought that she would suffer from insomnia, but when she hugged Ning Jingmo's pillow and smelled the familiar scent on it, she fell asleep without knowing when.
