The life of Lao Liu since 1944

Chapter 122: I Will Keep My Body Pure for You

After tasting a few bites of the dishes, Hou Jie smiled and raised his wine glass, clinking it with Chen Xueru's, and then the two of them tasted the wine together. Hou Jie asked with concern: "Xueru, how does this wine taste? Does it suit your taste?"

After tasting it, Chen Xueru thought for a moment and replied, "Well, it's not bad. Compared to the wines I drank before, this one is a little lighter, but it is this lightness that makes me feel it is just right. I like this taste very much. Thank you, Brother Chunsheng, for your hospitality."

Chen Xueru then mentioned: "It's all because of you, bad guy, who made me drink. Do you remember? Last time you taught me to drink, I became addicted. My father scolded me several times for this."

Hou Jie didn't care at all. He responded calmly: "It's okay, it's okay, I really don't mind. If you want to drink, just drink. It's no big deal!"

Chen Xueru was a little surprised. She asked, "You really won't dislike me?" After hearing this, Hou Jie smiled frankly and said, "Of course not. I was the one who taught you how to drink. You should thank me. Now you know that wine is a good thing!"

After hearing this, Chen Xueru's doubts dissipated a lot, and she nodded in relief: "Well, now that you say that, I feel relieved."

Hou Jie carefully reminded her worriedly: "Xueru, let's talk about this in advance. Although wine is a good thing, it must be consumed in moderation. No more than two taels a day, can you do it?" Although she was a little unhappy in her heart, Chen Xueru knew that this was Hou Jie's care and love for her, so she nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll listen to you. Just two taels of wine a day."

The two were both hungry, so they got up and cooked a table of delicious food. As they ate, their stomachs were almost full, and the atmosphere gradually turned to a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the two began to chat about family matters while tasting the food, and the topics were all over the place.

At some point, Hou Jie's tone of speech suddenly changed and became a little off topic.

He pursed his lips tightly, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't. Combined with his childish face, it made him look funny. Then he whispered, "Xue Ru, alcohol is really not a good thing."

Hou Jie thought of Mu Chunhua because of a series of events that happened after he got drunk.

"Your brother Chunsheng has been aloof all his life, but it all disappeared just because he drank a little."

When Chen Xueru heard this, she originally wanted to hold back her laughter, but Hou Jie's description was so vivid and interesting that the laughter that had been pent up in her heart surged like a spring and she could not suppress it.

The corners of her mouth trembled slightly, and finally she couldn't hold it back. A mouthful of wine spurted out of her mouth, and laughter broke out.

"Ha! Ha! Ha! Brother Chunsheng, you are so funny."

She had never heard such funny words before. For a little kid of sixteen or seventeen, such words were too straightforward and funny.

Chen Xueru tried to suppress her laughter, covered her stomach with her hands, and giggled non-stop. The guests around heard Chen Xueru's laughter and Hou Jie's words, and cast curious glances at her.

Several guests who were drinking seemed to be attracted by this sudden joke and choked and coughed continuously.

He looked at Hou Jie with strange eyes.

"This little guy is a talent! He's really good at pretending."

"What the hell is it to be so cool all your life! How old are you?"

Hou Jie looked at the reactions of the people around him and felt a little puzzled. He glanced at them curiously, and saw one of the guests waved at him with a smile. Hou Jie then turned his attention back to Chen Xueru.

Although Chen Xueru was smiling, her eyes revealed a hint of shyness and helplessness.

She glared at Hou Jie and said angrily, "Brother Chunsheng, you are so shameless. How can you praise yourself like this? Let's eat. You are just trying to make people happy."

Hou Jie responded seriously: "Xue Ru, you have to believe me! I am telling the truth."

Chen Xueru couldn't help but feel warm in her heart when she heard Hou Jie's response. She suppressed her mouth, fearing that she would laugh out loud again.

In the end, he responded in a coaxing tone: "Yes, yes, yes, you didn't, come and eat!"

Hou Jie's mood was affected by the atmosphere and became relaxed and cheerful. He couldn't help teasing her and started to tell jokes that would be remembered in later generations.

He raised his head, hesitant and melancholy, his expression was just right, he looked like a gentleman.

"Xue Ru! You don't know! Your brother Chun Sheng is so outstanding."

"Oh! Oh! Oh! I have been keeping my virginity for you all these years, but the widow Li from the next village has been coveting me for a long time, and I can't stand it anymore."

Chen Xueru was stunned when she heard these sudden words, as if she had received an electric shock. She widened her eyes and opened her mouth slightly, but could not make a sound. Her body began to tremble, as if she could not bear such a shock.

After a while, she came back to her senses, with an expression of disbelief on her face. She shook her head, trying to deny what she had just heard, but she could no longer suppress the joy in her heart.

"Uh! Uh! Uh!" Suddenly, Chen Xueru let out a strange laugh, which seemed to burst out from the depths of her heart.

Her laughter was like the cry of a goose, clear and loud, with ups and downs and rhythm. That kind of laughter seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts and reveal the softness in their hearts.

Her smile burst out like a spring, uncontrollable. She laughed so naturally, so sincerely, that she even had difficulty breathing, as if the little heart in her chest was almost jumping out of her chest due to the joy.

Her cheeks were slightly flushed and her eyes were shining with joy, which came from the bottom of her heart.

Hou Jie seemed to want to say something when he saw this, but Chen Xueru was already laughing uncontrollably. He could only stretch out his slender hand, lightly pressing on her chest, and begging with a slight gasp: "Brother Chunsheng, you...you won, I...I really can't stand it anymore." Her words were so charming and cute that Hou Jie couldn't help but smile, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

He stretched out his fist and punched him twice. "Oh! You can't laugh anymore. Brother Chunsheng, stop talking."

"Haha! Widow Li from the next village? Haha! Just let me take my time, please."

Her smile was like a ray of warm sunshine in spring, instantly illuminating the entire tavern.

The guests who were eavesdropping on the conversation could no longer hold back their smiles and burst out laughing.

The drinkers around were either enjoying the conversation or savoring the delicious food and wine.

Everyone who heard it was shocked to death by Hou Jie's words. They staggered to one side or another, some were coughing, some were trying to hold back their trembling shoulders, and some were laughing so hard.

Chen Xueru's laughter was like an introduction, and along with the laughter of several people nearby, it instantly pushed the atmosphere to a climax.
