Chapter 478 We won't drink now, we'll drink next year.
The old lady drank most of the fruit wine, and the wine pot was emptied, but she still felt she hadn't had enough.
Chunhua and Xiaomei were both enthusiastic girls, and they volunteered to help Grandma Bai get the wine.
"Grandma and Sister Chang'er, please wait a moment, we'll be right back."
Grandma Bai nodded with a smile, and Lin Chang'er didn't spoil her mood. However, she thought that although the fruit wine had a low alcohol content, the old lady was still quite old.
Then she thought of a new idea and said tactfully, "Although it's just going to the cafeteria to get it, it will still take some time to go back and forth."
"How about we drink some sugarcane juice to quench our thirst first?"
Sugarcane juice is known to help with hangovers and is also a local specialty.
Although she had told her father why she hadn't researched juicers, she was considering expanding into new businesses later.
So a while ago, I had his dad research and develop a juicer.
In the past, juicing couldn't keep up with the later boiling process; now it's the other way around—the later boiling process is always done in time.
However, her space has now been upgraded to two parts, so there is definitely room to keep food fresh.
If the mood strikes, chilled sugarcane juice is also an option.
These are all local specialties from our own area.
Old Mrs. Bai and Lin Chang'er were old acquaintances, so naturally she wouldn't refuse her kindness.
Lin Chang'er didn't hesitate and quickly went to the kitchen to prepare several cups of sugarcane juice.
Raindrop didn't know if it was because he had been lying down for too long, or if he felt that everyone else was eating and drinking happily while he was the only one being isolated.
Suddenly, it started to protest with babbling sounds, and Gu Ersao turned around to coax it.
Lin Chang'er carried Yudian'er out first, saying, "Second sister-in-law, have some more."
The tiny, soft baby was held in his aunt's arms, his little head resting on her arm. He seemed to feel very safe and stopped protesting. He pouted and made sounds to talk to his aunt.
Lin Chang'er tapped his chin, "Does Raindrop want to drink too? We won't drink now, we'll drink next year."
The baby was babbling, it was hard to tell if it meant it understood or something else.
Lin Chang'er coaxed him again, "When our Yudian grows up, whatever you want to drink, Auntie will make it for you, okay?"
The baby seemed to sense the special affection shown by the adults and started giggling.
The people at the table were also infected by the baby's emotions and laughed out loud.
Gu Ersao affectionately patted her son's head and tapped his nose, as if to say he was naughty.
The raindrops then giggled and laughed at her again.
The group drank sugarcane juice and played with the baby while waiting for the wine.
By the time Niu Xiaomei and He Chunhua returned with the wine, Old Mrs. Bai's enthusiasm had already waned.
They only had a symbolic drink before the party ended.
Niu Xiaomei and He Chunhua cleaned up the dishes and went to wash them, while Lin Chang'er and Gu Ersao took a walk in the yard with Yudian in their arms.
Aunt Gu couldn't stay idle, so she went back to her room to make clothes for the children.
Lin Chang'er and Gu Ersao led Yudian'er through the hanging flower gate and into the second courtyard. They looked up and saw Old Madam Bai sitting on the long corridor under the eaves.
With his elbows resting on the railing and half his body leaning against it, he simply looked up at the bright moon overhead.
Upon seeing this scene, Lin Chang'er instinctively stopped in her tracks.
Gu Ersao also stopped, pointed in the direction of Old Madam Bai, Lin Chang'er whispered a few words to her, Gu Ersao nodded, and turned back to the backyard.
Lin Chang'er, carrying Yudian'er, pretended to pass by and greeted the old lady, "Oh, what is Grandma Zeng doing? She's looking at the moon! Shall we, Yudian'er, watch the moon with Grandma Zeng?"
