Reborn in 1985: From Selling Braised Duck to Becoming the World's Richest Man

"I heard that Xiangmanlou Restaurant in the county is also your business. No wonder it has become the number one private restaurant in the county. With a boss as good as you, it would be hard for the food at Xiangmanlou Restaurant not to be delicious."

Liu Guang said with a smile.

"Thank you for the compliment, Uncle. Let's go to Xiangmanlou Restaurant for a meal tomorrow. Could you taste the dishes and see if there's anything that needs improvement?"

Liang Ming said with a smile.

As he spoke, he opened a bottle of Golden Wine and poured wine for his father, Liu Guang, Gou Dan, A Ma, and Ji Wa.

"Come on, let's have a drink with our uncle."

Immediately, Liang Ming picked up his wine glass and shouted to everyone.

Chicken Boy, Dog Egg, and Ama all respected Liu Guang very much, and upon hearing Liang Ming's words, they all picked up their wine glasses.

"Brother-in-law Liu Guang, let's drink until we drop tonight!" Liang Min said to Liu Guang, raising her glass as well.

Sensing the importance placed on him by everyone, Liu Guang quickly raised his wine glass and addressed Liang Ming and the others:

"Thank you all. I'll drink this glass in one go. Please feel free to drink as you like."

After saying that, he drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.

Seeing Liu Guang's generosity, Liang Ming was not to be outdone and also downed a drink.

Seeing this, the others also picked up their glasses and started drinking.

After a few drinks, the atmosphere in the courtyard became lively.

After a few rounds of drinks and a few bites of food, Liu Guang's face was already a little red.

Clearly, he wasn't a heavy drinker.

"Liu Guang, you're almost drunk. Let's stop drinking here."

Seeing Liu Guang's drunken face, Liang Juan tried to persuade him.

Everyone noticed that Liu Guang was somewhat drunk, and they slowly put down their wine glasses.

Who knew that after Liu Guang drank, he was like a different person, grinning foolishly as he pulled Liang Juan along and said:

"Xiaojuan, I'm not drunk. The most important thing about drinking is to have fun."

"I'm also very happy to be able to drink with your brother and nephew."

"I like you, and I want to marry you, so I'm going to do whatever it takes to get your older brother and your nephew's approval."

Hearing Liu Guang's honest and straightforward words, Liang Min and Li Lan both smiled.

Liang Ming, Gou Dan, and the others, being the younger generation, couldn't laugh even if they wanted to; they had to hold it in.

Hearing Liu Guang's words, Liang Juan felt a little embarrassed and said:

"Liu Guang, what nonsense are you talking about? What marriage? I never agreed to marry you..."

By the end, Liang Juan was blushing a little.

After all, this was in front of his elder brother, sister-in-law, and nephew.

Liu Guang's frank confession made her feel a little embarrassed, even though she was not young.

After all, given the prevailing social norms of the time, women weren't as bold.

But her words made Liu Guang nervous.

Especially now, Liu Guang was somewhat drunk.

"Xiaojuan, you...you don't want to marry me? Is there something I did wrong? Tell me, and I'll definitely change!"

Liu Guang looked anxious and was on the verge of tears.

Hearing Liu Guang's simple-minded words, Liang Juan blushed deeply, wishing she could disappear into nowhere.

"I...I didn't mean that..."

She couldn't very well say that she was willing to marry Liu Guang, could she?

My family is all here. It's still a little difficult for a woman like me to say this.

But if he didn't say anything, Liu Guang would misunderstand again.

Seeing Liu Guang's almost tearful expression, Liang Juan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

At this moment, Liang Ming spoke up again, speaking on behalf of his aunt Liang Juan, saying:

"Uncle Liu, how can my aunt ask me if she'd be willing to marry you?"

"Besides, you were really drunk. If my aunt didn't like you, why would she bring you home?"

"When it comes to proposing, as a man, you should take the initiative."

Upon hearing Liang Ming's words, Liu Guang finally came to his senses and said, somewhat drunk, "

"Yes, when it comes to proposing, how can the woman be the one to make the first move? I, the man, must take the initiative first."

"But I saw on TV that people in other countries use rings when they propose, and I can't find a ring right now."

Liu Guang touched his pockets, looking somewhat helpless as he spoke.

Seeing Liu Guang's helpless expression, Liang Juan almost burst out laughing.

This was the first time in her life that a man had been so concerned about her.

She was about to say that she would marry him even without a ring.

Liu Guang has already taken ninety-nine steps forward, so I can take one more step forward.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Ama, who was standing to the side, suddenly had a strange idea. Pointing to the golden wine on the table, she said:

"Uncle Liu Guang, isn't there a gold bottle ring on this golden wine?"

"This size is perfect for a marriage proposal ring!"

Upon hearing Ama's words, Liu Guang's eyes lit up.

Yes, how could he not have thought of that?

Golden Wine, it really contains gold!

This advertisement has been circulating in Taoyuan County for a long time.

Everyone knows that the reason this golden wine is so expensive is not only because it tastes good, but also because it actually contains gold.

Although no one would have thought of using a gold bottle ring, at this moment, it is the perfect engagement ring.

"Mom, your idea is great!"

Dog Egg and Chicken Boy spoke at the same time.

"Although it doesn't weigh much, it can definitely be used as a ring."

Li Lan, who was standing to the side, said with a smile.

"An engagement ring is fine, but you can't use this for a wedding ring."

Liang Min also jokingly remarked.

Liang Ming was also taken aback by Ama's words and said to him:

"Mom, that's a great idea! I didn't even think of that."

Hearing everyone's praise, Ama smiled sheepishly and said, "I just suddenly thought of it."

Liang Ming turned to look at Liu Guang and said with a smile, "Uncle, why don't you propose?"

Upon hearing Liang Ming's words, Liu Guang turned to look at Liang Juan.

Liang Juan had a smile on her face and her hand was already out, waiting for Liu Guang to help her put on the ring.

Upon seeing this, Liu Guang was filled with excitement and, without further hesitation, quickly removed the bottle ring from the Golden Wine bottle.

He knelt on one knee, holding a gold bottle ring in his hand, and said to Liang Juan:

"Xiao Juan, I swear to God, I will love you for the rest of my life, whether in poverty or wealth."

“My monthly salary may not be as much as what you earn from running your shop, but I’m willing to hand over all of it to you so you can manage the household finances from now on.”

"You can choose to focus on internal affairs or external affairs; whatever you say goes."

At this point, Liu Guangcai cautiously asked:

"will you marry me?"

Hearing Liu Guang's sincere words, Liang Juan no longer hesitated and nodded:

"I am willing!"

Upon seeing that Liang Juan agreed, Liu Guang quickly put the gold bottle ring on Liang Juan's finger, fearing that she might change her mind at any moment.

Liang Juan looked at the golden bottle ring in her hand, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

This is the most special ring I've ever received!

She is very happy!

From now on, she will no longer be alone.

Upon seeing this, Liang Ming and the others clapped and cheered.

"Auntie, you'll have someone to protect you from now on!"
