Chapter 422: Green Plum Wine

He was only 10 years old at the time. He doesn’t understand what’s happening and he doesn’t know what to do. He watched his mother die in front of him. He couldn’t stop crying, he felt like the sky had fallen and he doesn’t know how to live.

He even questioned why everyone was dead and he was still alive.

Later, when the government came to their house to collect the corpse, he hid outside. It’s just, he didn’t expect that after the government collected the corpse, they also took away their family’s belongings. And in the end, they burned their house with a fire.

He changed from an orphan to a beggar. An old beggar saw him looking all poor, so he took him with him and finally he was able to survive.

He thought he would be a beggar all his life. Until a year ago, he saw a portrait of his father on the bulletin board in the city. They said that his father was a spy, a spy who sold his country to the enemy.

He didn’t believe it, his father was brave and stern, how could he be a spy?

He was also very happy that his father was alive. He was alive, and that was more important than anything.

Not long after, the military camp recruited soldiers. He lied about his age and mixed up. He endured the hardships in the military camp. Not long after, he got a little news about his father. Thanks to his highness, Prince Jin, he finally saw his father.

Three years of hardships had passed, he doesn’t want to say more. He doesn’t want everyone to feel sorry for him, so he laughed and said: “I’m lucky. I met a good family, my life is good.”

His words were not convincing. If he has a good life, how could he, a 13-year-old child only be this tall and thin?

Since he doesn’t want to say more, they stopped asking. They just swallowed the bitterness of his life and filled him with smiles and joy.

“Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it is also our first Mid-Autumn Festival altogether. I hope that every Mid-Autumn Festival in the future, we can be together and be as happy and happy as today.” Bai Zhi stood up and raised her cup: “Come on, I’ll give you a toast.”

Everyone stood up and six cups of wine bumped each other, with a pleasant sound, everyone’s smile in the face even became wider.

Qingyuan Town’s unique green plum wine has a smooth and slightly sweet after taste. After drinking it, a person will feel like eating a fruit cocktail. Bai Zhi was very happy, this wine was really delicious. Unknowingly, she drank a few more glasses. But who would have thought that the strength of this plum wine was not small? Not only Bai Zhi was knockdown, but also Zhao Lan and Zhao Sue.

Zhou Awu said to Zhou Xiaofeng: “You kid is good in alcohol!”

Zhou Xiaofeng smiled and scratched his head: “I started drinking when I was 5 years old, I drink bit by bit, and now it’s like this, I don’t get drunk no matter how much I drink.”

Even Hu Changlin was a little dizzy. He waved his hands and said, “I can’t do it anymore. I can’t drink another cup. I’m done.” He then looked at Bai Zhi and Zhao Lan who was sleeping. He said to Zhou Awu: “Let’s send them back. It’s very late. It’s not good to let people see them and start gossiping.”

Hu Changlin got up and walked towards Zhao Lan. After taking a step, he almost fell over. He felt like he was standing on a cotton cloud, but his head was heavy. Goodness gracious, he thought he was not drunk, but he is.

Zhou Xiaofeng hurriedly came forward and held him up: “I’ll do it, go and rest!”

Zhou Awu then said to Zhou Xiaofeng: “You help Hu Bo go to his room first. I will carry Aunt Lan, then you carry Bai Zhi.”

Zhou Xiaofeng nodded quickly and helped Hu Changlin go back to his room. When he came out, Zhou Awu already carried Zhao Lan away.
