Ye Hua left, but the atmosphere in the living room wasn’t as harmonious as it had been earlier.
The old man and Mrs. Wang looked at the bottle of wine on the table.
They couldn’t help but doubt, though sotis they would try anything in desperation, the family secret redy wasn’t necessarily as miraculous as it was made out to be.
Moreover, whose family secret redy involves peaches? If peaches could cure all diseases, what’s the point of doctors prescribing those dicines?
They’ve heard of tiger bone wine, deer antler wine, and snake wine, but never peach wine.
Plus, his old rheumatism had been seen by many doctors who said it couldn’t be cured.
It can only be relieved; wanting to cure it is simply impossible.
But they couldn’t embarrass the child.
No matter what, the child was well-intentioned.
Even if it can’t cure, drinking this peach wine should be fine and certainly won’t harm the body.
Can’t hurt their feelings.
"Oh my, I really haven’t seen peach wine before; first ti hearing about this family secret redy. There’s actually peach wine! Co, co, pour a cup to taste!"
The old man was afraid Jiang Xiaoxiao would lose face.
Jiang Xiaoxiao felt Mr. Wang didn’t quite understand her father.
The old man was not lacking in emotional intelligence; his emotional intelligence was quite high.
Mrs. Wang slapped her thigh.
"Auntie has finished cooking, let’s drink at the dining table, perfect for to taste too. Today I made your favorite Twice-Cooked Pork and Fish-Fragrant Shredded Pork, great to pair with peach wine, seems really nice, I also want to drink a couple of glasses."
Mr. Wang imdiately grabbed that glass bottle of peach wine and headed straight to his dining room, calling Jiang Xiaoxiao along.
"Jiang Xiaoxiao, co! Co! Our auntie’s cooking skills are extrely good, you ca at the right ti, perfect to taste."
Jiang Xiaoxiao didn’t stand on ceremony and followed Mr. Wang straight into the dining room.
The old man and Mrs. Wang finally breathed a sigh of relief; they couldn’t embarrass the child who ca all this way.
Four people sat neatly in the dining room, just picked up the chopsticks.
Their front door was knocked, Mrs. Wang frowned, soone visiting at this hour?
Clearly coming to freeload, alas! Must be a familiar person.
Auntie went to open the door, and soon led in an old man and old lady.
Mrs. Wang hurriedly stood up, "Old Song, you and the old sister coming over, why didn’t you give us a heads up, otherwise we could have made a few more dishes for you two old buddies to have a drink."
Promptly invited the old man and old lady to sit down.
Jiang Xiaoxiao astutely moved and vacated a spot, it wouldn’t be appropriate for her to remain in this position.
These people in front of her, no matter what, their seniority is established by age, considered elders.
She and Mr. Wang automatically moved back two seats.
The table was cramd with six people, but it’s a round table, seating ten people is no problem.
The Song old man and his wife looked like they had deep experience; judging by the Mao suit worn by the old man, and the old lady’s neat four-pocket outfit, they looked like officials.
Still old officials.
The old man had a particularly dignified appearance, thick eyebrows and big eyes, despite his graying hair, he carried a dignified aura, especially his gaze, with a hint of sharpness, glanced at Jiang Xiaoxiao, sowhat surprised.
"Who is this?"
"Grandpa Song, this is Jiang Xiaoxiao, a friend of mine, who works at Kenqing Farm’s production team. She specially brought peach wine for my dad today. You ca just in ti to taste it too."
Mr. Wang offered it like a treasure, pouring wine for his parents and Grandpa Song and Grandma Song.
To be honest, when the wine was poured, a fragrance wafted out with the wine. Although the alcohol content didn’t sll high, the aroma compensated for all shortcomings.
Old Song took the cup, slled it, then sipped.
"Oh, this wine is nice, drinks quite refreshingly and sweetly. Though different from the wines we usually have, it has its own flavor."
Mr. Wang knew exactly who Old Song was; this person was a wine lover, but due to old age, his health wasn’t good.
These folks shared a common flaw: when old, they couldn’t have a drop of alcohol.
Since Old Song praised it, the wine must be unique, so Mr. Wang quickly took a sip, savored it in his mouth, and couldn’t help but nod.
"Indeed, the taste of this wine is quite good."
Mrs. Wang and Old Mrs. Song were amused by their expressions, and they took a sip too.
However, after tasting it, they were surprised; the wine’s taste was more suited for won.
Virtually without alcohol strength, the aftertaste carried a sweet flavor.
The dishes at the table were indeed well cooked, Jiang Xiaoxiao, though able to cook, considered it top-notch cooking to be slightly beyond her reach.
After all, in her past life, she wasn’t a chef, the capability of a surgeon making dishes couldn’t be too exceptional!
Her ti was primarily focused on surgeries, food was just making do.
The skills she possessed were learned while doing odd jobs for survival.
At this mont she enjoyed the family chef’s cooking, she couldn’t help but beam.
"Young lady, you’re in Kenqing Farm, my grandson is there too. You might know him, his na is Song Moting."
After a glass, Old Song opened up, mainly recognizing the young lady in front of him.
"Old Song, so you are Song Moting’s grandfather! Song Moting is now the leader of our small collective."
Jiang Xiaoxiao was taken aback; didn’t realize this dignified elder was Song Moting’s grandfather.
Strange that Song Moting never ntioned his grandparents lived in the county town.
No wonder he ca to this farm for rural work, seed like wanting to be close for others.
Perhaps Song Moting wanted to be near to check on his grandparents and take care of them.
"Wow, so we are acquaintances too; this Moting, every ti he cos to the county town, can’t stay even a few minutes and leaves imdiately. Impossible to keep him for a al, if not for the last ti regarding grain issues, he wouldn’t have cared to et us in the county."
This child has a stubborn temperant. How is he getting along recently?"
Jiang Xiaoxiao seed to infer, the old man and old lady truly cherished Song Moting, but for so reason, there seed to be barriers between them.
Brother Song’s personality was quite temperate, not the irritable unreasonable type.
Yet, there should be so issues with his grandparents, indicating underlying reasons.
Moreover, considering Song Moting’s mother passed early, with a stepmother at ho, it hinted his life may not have been easy these years, imaginable incidents might have occurred.
Parents can do those things to their own children, let alone a stepmother.
Not wanting to be too one-sided, but how could a stepmother treat the previous partner’s son like her own?
Jiang Xiaoxiao felt personally, with one’s own son and another’s son, bias is inevitable.
It’s unrelated to kindness, it’s just a human instinct.
