Building a house is a major event in life.
From drawing floor plans and designing layouts to choosing the right construction team.
Then to the procurent of raw materials.
There are countless aspects, big and small.
Jiang Tao chatted with his dad and younger uncle at the old house for a while before saying goodbye.
It’s still early, from planning to starting construction.
It was just noon when Jiang Tao drove back to his father-in-law’s house at the West City Hua Fu District in Ping County.
Xu Li and her mother-in-law had already made dumplings, just waiting for him to co back.
"Honey, you’re back~"
"I was just about to call you to co ho for lunch, and here you are."
Seeing Jiang Tao at the door, Xu Li had a sweet smile on her face.
Even though the couple had been inseparable lately.
As soon as they were apart, Xu Li couldn’t help but miss her child’s father.
She felt she was becoming more and more attached to him.
"Tsk tsk tsk~"
On the side, her sister was amazed at how lovey-dovey her sister and brother-in-law still were after seven or eight years of marriage.
As the younger sister, she had consud a lot of "dog food" from them.
"Xiao Tao is back, hurry and wash your hands, we made boiled fish and boiled beef today. Later, get your dad up, and you two can have a couple of drinks."
Wearing a floral apron, her mother-in-law ca out of the kitchen, looking at Jiang Tao with a smile in her eyes.
Du Yongi was highly satisfied with her son-in-law, liking him more and more each ti she saw him.
"Alright, let’s try sothing good today. I got so good wine from a friend."
Jiang Tao said as he raised his hand, showing off the jade dew in a plastic bucket.
"Eh, is this rice wine?"
Seeing the golden liquid in the plastic bucket, Xu Li curiously asked.
"Haha, calling it rice wine is correct; by its color, it is rice wine."
Jiang Tao laughed it off, admitting that calling this jade dew liquor might not be quite right?
Though in terms of taste, this jade dew was indeed more like liquor.
But by its color, it certainly wasn’t fit for liquor.
It wasn’t white at all!
Jiang Tao said with a smile:
"Lili, you, our mom, and Sasha should try it later too; it tastes quite good and isn’t strong."
Xu Li rolled her eyes at Jiang Tao playfully, "Our mom can’t drink now!"
"Oh! Look at my mory!"
Jiang Tao laughed and patted his forehead; he had forgotten about his mother-in-law’s pregnancy!
Even though the jade dew has strong attributes, it is, after all, a kind of alcohol.
No one can say for sure whether drinking alcohol would affect the baby inside a pregnant woman.
But if it can be avoided, it should certainly be.
You never know what might happen.
"Ahem ahem..."
Du Yongi naturally understood the conversation between her daughter and son-in-law, her face turning slightly red with embarrassnt.
Being pregnant and about to beco a mom again at her age was genuinely a bit mysteriously awkward.
Xu Li then turned to Xu Sha and said:
"Sasha, you have to drive in the afternoon too, so you can’t drink."
"Alright then..."
Xu Sha looked at Jiang Tao with a pitiful smile and said:
"Brother-in-law, can you save so for to drink in the evening?"
"This wine looks so good to drink."
Xu Sha knew quite well her brother-in-law’s capabilities now.
For her brother-in-law, who drinks Moutai like water.
The wine he got from a friend is probably better than Moutai!
"What’s a young girl like you drinking for? Can’t you learn sothing good?"
Her mother-in-law glared at her younger sister.
Xu Sha: "A little drink to lift the spirit~ Drinking a little is good for health."
"Hahaha, the second one is right, a little drink lifts the spirit, lifting the spirit indeed!"
As soon as Xu Sha finished speaking, her father-in-law erged from the bedroom, chuckling in agreent.
Du Yongi said: "You’re just finding an excuse for yourself to drink! And you too, Xiao Tao gave you good wine, but you still need to drink in moderation."
"Alright, my dear wife, as you say, as you say."
"Go have a rest with Xiao Tao, have a smoke, lunch will be ready soon."
"Thank you for your hard work, dear wife."
"You shaless old man!"
Watching her parents being affectionate, Xu Sha accidentally consud another big mouthful of "dog food".
Making her want to find soone for herself.
"Dad, can I drink it?"
Jiang Xue looked at the jade dew in Jiang Tao’s hand, which resembled honey water, eyeing it with longing.
Upon hearing his Little Cotton Padded Jacket, Jiang Tao felt a bit conflicted in his heart.
This jade dew does have the strong attribute of increasing lifespan, but it is, after all, alcohol.
Alcohol greatly affects children’s brain developnt.
Is letting Jiang Xue drink this more of a benefit or a harm?
That’s really hard to say.
"You drink your AD calcium milk, no drinking until you’re an adult."
While Jiang Tao was in a dilemma, Xu Li had already made the decision.
"Alright then."
Jiang Xue was just curious about what was in her dad’s hand, but she wasn’t really keen on drinking it.
Soon, a sumptuous lunch was laid out on the table.
The fish caught by her father-in-law turned into pickled fish, along with a dish of red-hot boiled beef, both favorites of Jiang Tao.
The braised prawns and big plate chicken were Jiang Xue’s favorites.
Then there were homade dishes like chive scrambled eggs, stir-fried okra, yuxiang shredded pork, and Di San Xian.
Nine dishes and one soup made for exactly ten dishes, symbolizing perfection.
Jiang Tao opened the cap of the plastic bucket, and as the jade dew was poured out, the room was instantly filled with a rich aroma of wine.
"Wow, it slls so good! What kind of wine is this, brother-in-law! It slls amazing!"
