"Second Grandpa, don’t be in such a hurry. We just need to find soone who can drink to join that sister for a good round of drinking." Tian Sisi suggested mischievously from the side; she loved watching the excitent most.
Tian Bajin’s eyes lit up, "Ah Nan is right, but who could it be? I think that girl can drink quite a few jin of liquor."
"Ah, isn’t Brother Shouhua quite the drinker? Let Brother Shouhua have a contest with that sister, he’s sure to win." Tian Sisi rolled her eyes; isn’t there a person ready for the picking right in front of her?
"Yes, our Brother Shouhua can definitely outdrink this young lady. Xinhua, go call your fourth brother over, tell him I’m looking for him for sothing important," Tian Bajin shouted to Tian Xinhua.
Tian Xinhua had no choice but to go and fetch soone. If fourth brother knew that it was Ah Nan’s idea, he would surely be hopping mad. Although fourth brother could hold his liquor, he really hated drinking. Moreover, he detested being made a spectacle, like a monkey show, by everyone watching him drink.
Tian Shouhua indeed arrived with a less-than-pleased expression; he hadn’t known it was Tian Sisi’s idea. Tian Xinhua deliberately kept it from him, not daring to say anything, but he had a pig teammate.
"Brother Shouhua, you’re here! You should thank , you know. Without my brilliant idea, when would you have the chance to drink with that pretty sister!" Tian Sisi exclaid.
Upon hearing this, Tian Xinhua’s face soured — indeed, Ah Nan’s head was filled with tofu dregs. Tian Shouhua glared fiercely at Tian Sisi, thinking to himself that there was no way grandpa could have co up with such a terrible idea. It had all been this wretched girl’s doing, and he would settle the score with her later.
"Second Grandpa, Brother Shouhua is glaring at ." Tian Sisi, who had been glared at for no apparent reason, was not afraid at all, and she imdiately sought out soone to complain to.
"Ah Nan, don’t be scared. With Second Grandpa here, your Brother Shouhua wouldn’t dare to do anything to you," Tian Bajin was quick to comfort the young girl. It was only now that he rembered that his grandson was not particularly fond of drinking. But for the sake of Yuequan Village’s reputation, even if he disliked it, he had to step up.
"Shouhua, go and challenge that beautiful girl. Don’t disgrace our Yuequan Village; you must win against that girl," Tian Bajin instructed his grandson.
Tian Shouhua had no choice but to follow the order. At that mont, the beautiful bridesmaid was smugly looking at all the young n she had outdrunk, chatting with the other five bridesmaids. Although the other young n hadn’t gotten drunk, they didn’t dare to challenge them to a drink. The girl could drink two or three jin of liquor as if it were water, and they were no match for her.
"Shouhua’s co, Shouhua’s co!" Soone shouted, and everyone else also looked pleased.
"I’ll drink with you," said Tian Shouhua, who knew this girl. She was a young cousin of the bride, about the sa age as him, and it seed the bride called her Xiao Mi.
The girl nad Xiao Mi was a bit surprised to see Tian Shouhua but quickly smiled again and graciously replied, "Alright, how shall we drink?"
"You had a round before, and I had one too. Our starting points are similar, but I won’t take advantage of you. I’ll drink three bowls first, then we’ll see who can drink more after that."
Tian Shouhua picked up a soup bowl while people hurried to pour the liquor for him. He drained the bowl in one gulp as onlookers cheered him on. The commotion here was so loud that even the bride’s relatives from the other side were drawn over. After the bride and groom finished their toasting, they too ca over to enjoy the show.
Tian Shouhua downed three bowls of liquor, which was at least a jin. His face flushed a bright hue. Tian Sisi, who was watching from the side, beca anxious, "Brother Xin Hua, why is Brother Shouhua being so foolish? No one asked him to drink those three bowls. Why would he offer to do that?"
"You don’t understand, this is a matter of male dignity," Tian Xinhua said sothing quite profound, causing Tian Sisi to give him a disdainful look.
Pride will lead to suffering. If you lose later, let’s see what’s left of your male dignity. No, she needs to think of a way; she can’t let Tian Shouhua lose. Otherwise, it would really hurt his self-esteem!
Got it! She rembered a book in the Space saying that eating just one hangover fruit would prevent you from getting drunk no matter how much you drink. There’s only one hangover fruit tree in the Space, and it looks a lot like the wine yeast fruit tree. Initially, she almost mistook it as wine yeast fruit for brewing liquor. It was only when she noticed the color was off while picking it that she realized the mistake and checked the book.
The hangover fruit is a lot paler in color and slightly bigger in size. Tian Sisi made the excuse of going to pee, found a secluded spot, and picked a hangover fruit. She’ll find an opportunity later to let Tian Shouhua eat it.
When Tian Sisi returned, Tian Shouhua and that girl were really getting into the drinking competition, with everyone around cheering them on. The bride was a bit worried about her cousin getting too drunk and hurting herself, but her aunt, who is also Xiao Mi’s mother, was not worried at all.
"No worries, Xiao Mi grew up in a wine jar. It’s tough to get her drunk. I’m more concerned that the young man will have a rough night," she said.
Xiao Mi’s mother had co to escort the bride and was now watching the excitent with great interest, not concerned for her daughter in the slightest. Anyone not in the know might think she’s her stepmother!
"That young man is really good, handso and can hold his liquor. Ping Gui, is he a relative of yours? How old is he?" Xiao Mi’s mother took a liking to Tian Shouhua the more she watched him and inquired the groom.
"His na is Tian Shouhua, not a relative of mine. He’s the grandson of our village’s Party Secretary, sixteen this year and still in high school," replied Tian Pinggui, giving a detailed answer.
"Then, that pretty young girl just now is his cousin?" The bride suddenly chid in.
"Yes, Sisi is Shouhua’s cousin."
"Sisi? Who’s this pretty young girl?" Xiao Mi’s mother asked.
"There, that beautiful young girl nad Tian Sisi, and the young man beside her is Shouhua’s cousin," Tian Pinggui pointed out Tian Sisi standing next to Tian Shouhua and introduced her, with Tian Xinhua being right beside her.
"Ah, this little girl is really pretty. Ah Ping (the bride), isn’t she even more fashionable than your second aunt’s Nana?" Xiao Mi’s mother exclaid in admiration.
"Yes, I think so too. According to Ping Gui, Sisi’s grandfather is a retired revolutionist who returned from Beijing. She’s the precious little gem of the family, no wonder she’s so delicately nurtured."
The bride Xuanlepang talked with her aunt with a smile. Her mother has three sisters; her mother is the eldest, Xiao Mi’s mother is the youngest aunt, married in Baita Town, while the second aunt is married in Shanghai, with a young daughter nad Nana, a couple of years older than the girl nad Tian Sisi. Being a child born late to her parents, the second aunt and uncle doted heavily on their young daughter.
Her younger cousin is also quite pretty and stylish, but her personality isn’t that great. She acts like a spoiled girl; every ti she visits during the New Year, she looks down on everyone, complaining about this and that. Xuanlepang is quite annoyed by this younger cousin. So, she’s from Shanghai? What’s so great about that?
