Traveling through the busy farmland of a peasant girl
Chapter 69 Relatives
By the time everyone had taken their seats in the courtyard, Zhang Xiu Niang had already deftly reheated the dishes and steamed a large pot of white rice. The rice was plump and had an alluring aroma.
Just as Shen Li was about to lend a hand to help, her second aunt Li and younger sister-in-law Shen Shaoxue quickly stepped forward, helping to serve the dishes and set the table.
Those bowls and chopsticks were not ordinary. They were carefully purchased by Shen Li from the Space Mall.
The bowls and chopsticks were exquisite and elegant, with patterns depicting mountains and rivers on them. Every line was delicate and vivid, as if the entire mountains and rivers were condensed in this small space, which was pleasing to the eye.
Seeing that there was indeed nothing for Shen Li to do, she rolled her eyes and walked stealthily towards the house again.
She thought to herself, with so many people coming to the house today, it was so lively and bustling, and if there was no wine, the meal would be a little less enjoyable.
After entering the house, she quickly opened the system mall, swiped the screen with her finger, and browsed directly to the liquor store.
There was a wide variety of wines there, which dazzled Shen Li.
She picked and chose, and finally chose a famous liquor from a certain country.
This wine is very famous in modern times, and the price has been driven up to several thousand yuan per bottle. It is very precious.
After choosing the wine, she carefully selected several wine jars and wine glasses that were suitable for the style of this dynasty.
The wine jar has a simple texture and exudes a faint aroma of clay; the wine glass is exquisite and small, as if it was tailor-made for the ancient people's elegant drinking pleasure.
Then, Shen Li carefully opened the wine and slowly poured it into the jar.
Instantly, a strong aroma of wine filled the air. The aroma was rich and intense, as if it had life, rapidly spreading throughout the room.
Shen Li couldn't help but take a few deep sniffs, secretly praising it in her heart. It was indeed a famous wine, with a rich aroma that was intoxicating.
She filled a total of 5 jars, each containing 2 kilograms of wine.
After packing it, Shen Li became a little worried. She didn't know whether ancient people could get used to drinking this kind of modern strong liquor.
After thinking about it, she just picked up a jar of wine and walked out.
As soon as he went out, he saw his second uncle Shen Shaonan sniff lightly, and his head turned around as if being pulled by something. His eyes were full of surprise, and he said loudly: "What a fragrant wine!"
Shen Shaodong looked up at his daughter, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, his eyebrows slightly raised, and he said gently: "Today we all have wine and meat, we can finally have a good time!"
The food was quickly divided into two tables, one for the men and one for the women.
Shen Li had already made plans in her mind. The amount of food she cooked was originally very large, so even if it was divided into two plates, it was still full and there was no shortage.
At the men's table, Shen Shaodong slowly raised his glass, glanced at everyone present, and said in a loud voice: "Today, it's a rare occasion for our family to get together. For this wonderful gathering today, I would like to toast everyone!"
After saying that, he tilted his head back and gulped down the full glass of wine. His generous look made people feel refreshed.
Third uncle Shen Shaoxi also stood up at this time, holding a wine glass. He straightened his clothes and said solemnly: "I hold the wine cup in my hand today to toast my family.
Thanks to the help of my family, I have books to read and study.
In the past years, all the hardships were overcome safely thanks to the help of my relatives.
I will never forget this kindness and generosity. I only hope to achieve great things in the future and repay your kindness in the slightest possible way."
After saying that, he drank the whole glass of wine without hesitation.
Seeing that his eldest and third brothers had already expressed their feelings, Shen Shaonan was not to be outdone. He picked up the wine glass, took a gulp, and then said loudly: "I wish you a happy today every year, every year, and drink today! Worry about tomorrow tomorrow!"
The words were full of blessings for the eldest brother, and also revealed a sense of free and easy spirit.
Shen Xuan, an eight-year-old boy, certainly could not drink alcohol, so he used tea instead of wine to express his congratulations to his father on his birthday.
At the women's table, the atmosphere was warm and harmonious. Shen Li slowly raised the teacup in her hand, her eyes swept across everyone present sincerely, and her crisp voice rang out: "Grandma, Mother, Second Aunt, Sister-in-law, Brother Hui and Sister Yue, on this festive day of Daddy's birthday, I am filled with joy to wish our whole family well.
May our lives grow like sesame seeds blossoming, rising higher and higher, becoming better and better day by day!"
After saying that, she took a sip of tea with a faint smile on her lips.
Afterwards, Shen Li picked up another cup of tea and walked towards the men's table with light steps.
Coming to the table, she stood still with a light figure, then raised the teacup high and said crisply: "Daddy, happy birthday to you! May Daddy be as blessed as the East Sea, as long-lived as the Southern Mountains, and be in good health, and everything goes well!" Her voice was full of respect and blessings for Daddy.
When Second Uncle heard Shen Li's words, he couldn't help but be slightly startled, with a bit of surprise in his eyes. He looked at Shen Li and couldn't help but said: "Daya, Second Uncle hasn't seen you for a long time, you seem like a completely different person!"
Shen Li's heart suddenly tightened at her second uncle's words. She thought to herself, could it be that she had revealed a flaw somewhere?
However, before she could think about it, her second uncle said, "Not only has she become more eloquent, but she has also become more beautiful!"
After saying that, my second uncle burst into laughter, and his hearty laughter echoed in the house.
Upon hearing this, Shen Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and her face was instantly filled with a smile. She rolled her eyes and said playfully, "Second Uncle, you know, the ancients said: 'Girls change eighteen times when they grow up, and they become more and more beautiful.' I am now eight years old and a big girl.
Besides, you see, I follow my father to the market to sell things all day long. In that bustling and complicated market, how can I succeed if I don’t know how to read people’s expressions?
If I just stand there silently like a wooden man, I will have to take this thing with me and bring it back in the same condition, and then I won’t be able to do business! "
Shen Shaodong, who was standing by, could not help but nod slightly when he heard his daughter's words. With a look of relief in his eyes, he continued, "Yes! I was accidentally injured a while ago. It was the embroiderer and A'li who were diligently taking care of all the affairs at home and outside!"
At this point, he seemed to suddenly remember something important. He changed the subject, looked at Shen Shaonan, and said slowly: "Third Brother, I believe you also heard those rumors about the 'immortal pet' when you were in town!"
Shen Shaonan looked bewildered, like a bewildered monk. He nodded subconsciously and said, "Yeah! I heard about it. What's the matter? Does this have anything to do with us?"
Shen Shaodong raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a mysterious smile, and said slowly: "Didn't you just say that Ah Li has changed a lot? There is a reason for this.
Ah Li, she was fortunate to have an immortal master, and that so-called immortal pet was left to her by her master."
These words were like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing a huge ripple among the people at the two tables.
Except for Zhang Xiu Niang and Shen Xuan, everyone else couldn't help but widen their eyes in shock when they heard this.
For a moment, surprise filled the air among the crowd. No one spoke, but they all turned their heads and stared at Shen Li without blinking, their hearts filled with wonder: Oh my God! He actually worshipped an immortal master!
Zhang Xiu Niang secretly complained in her heart: My husband's ability to lie is getting better and better. This story is so convincing that it seems to be true.
Shen Xuan also looked helpless: "Could it be that my father's deceptive skills have been passed down from the immortal sister? This is too deceptive."
