Chapter 72 - 72 72 Drunk

72: Chapter 72: Drunk 72: Chapter 72: Drunk Chen Yang, holding the money, arrived at the entrance of the village and knocked on the window of the small store.

“Uncle Niu, are you home?”

“I am…

I’m home.”

A sleepy voice came from inside the store, followed by a dark-skinned old man who appeared at the window.

Uncle Niu sneezed and looked at Chen Yang through the window, then smiled and said, “Oh, the college student has come.

What do you need?”

“Hmm…

Do you have any chilled beer?” Chen Yang replied.

“Yes, how much do you need?

I’ll go get it for you,” Uncle Niu said.

“Start with a case first.”

“Oh, so much?

Do you have guests at home?” Uncle Niu asked, somewhat surprised.

There weren’t many men in Liuhe Village, so the store rarely sold tobacco and alcohol.

What little there was usually was kept by Uncle Niu for his own use.

“No, just buying extra to stock up at home, to have a bottle or two when I feel like it,” Chen Yang replied with a smile.

“I see, wait here then, I’ll go to the freezer to get it for you,” Uncle Niu also chuckled, then turned and left the window.

Chen Yang waited at the window for a little while, and then the door of Uncle Niu’s store opened.

Then he saw Uncle Niu carrying out a case of chilled beer.

“Yang Zi, here’s your beer.”

“Okay,” Chen Yang quickly responded, and then went forward to take the beer.

He also pulled out a hundred yuan bill from his pocket and handed it over, then Uncle Niu, without even looking, stuffed it into his pocket and gave Chen Yang some change.

“Alright, Uncle Niu, I’ll be going now.

You take it easy,” Chen Yang said, taking the change and carrying the case of beer back home.

When he passed through the entrance of the clinic, Wu Kexin saw the beer in Chen Yang’s arms.

She was taken aback.

“Didn’t you say you were going to buy some soda?

How come you have a case of beer?” Wu Kexin asked, surprised.

“Hehe,” Chen Yang chuckled and said, “There wasn’t much soda at the village head’s, and beer is no different from soda!”

Actually, Chen Yang didn’t even ask about the soda.

When he headed out, he had planned to buy beer all along.

Seeing this, Wu Kexin couldn’t really say much, and could only watch as Chen Yang carried the beer inside.

After Chen Yang put down the beer inside, he went over to the pot, lifted the lid to see how the rabbit meat was stewing.

As soon as he lifted the lid, a rich aroma of meat wafted out.

This was the unique fragrance of wild game.

“Hmm…

very nice, the amount of seasoning is just right,” Chen Yang sniffed the drifting aroma and couldn’t help commenting.

And just as Chen Yang looked completely satisfied, Wu Kexin, who was outside at the clinic, also smelled the aroma of the meat and immediately came in.

Seeing the meat in the pot as tempting as the wolf meat from the last time, she involuntarily swallowed her saliva.

Seeing this, Chen Yang quickly pulled Wu Kexin in, got a pair of bowls and chopsticks for her, and then the two sat down in front of the large pot and started to feast happily.

Although the rabbit meat wasn’t as good as the previous wolf meat, its flavor was still significantly tastier than ordinary meat.

So for a while, they simply couldn’t stop eating.

However, in the sweltering heat, the two of them eating hotpot soon were drenched in sweat.

At that moment, Chen Yang brought out the chilled beer he had set aside, and even opened a bottle and placed it in front of Wu Kexin.

Seeing this, Wu Kexin immediately shook her head: “I don’t drink.”

“Oh!

That’s okay, I’ll leave it here then, I’ll drink it later,” Chen Yang smiled slightly, not at all intending to persuade Wu Kexin to drink.

Then he picked up a bottle himself and guzzled it down.

The chilled beer cooled down Chen Yang considerably, and even Wu Kexin could feel the refreshing sensation.

“Burp…

Really, hotpot and beer are still the best pairing in summer.”

Chen Yang chuckled and then began to pick up his chopsticks and eagerly tucked into the food.

Seeing how much Chen Yang was enjoying his drink and that it helped cool him down, Wu Kexin suddenly got an idea.

She looked at the beer next to her, exhaling cold vapor, and started to drink as well.

Seeing this, Chen Yang couldn’t help but laugh.

The reason he hadn’t urged her to drink was that he had anticipated that Wu Kexin wouldn’t be able to resist.

With temperatures over thirty degrees outside and hot pot being served inside, how could they not drink some ice-cold beer?

“How does it feel?

Refreshing, isn’t it?” Chen Yang asked with a smile.

Wu Kexin put down the beer bottle and nodded, “Refreshing!”

“Hehe, if it’s refreshing, eat more.

Let’s finish this pot this afternoon, don’t waste it.” Chen Yang then served Wu Kexin a big piece of rabbit meat.

“Mmm-hmm.”

Wu Kexin nodded and then continued to eat devotedly.

…

The two of them ate from about two or three in the afternoon until sunset, nearly finishing the rabbit meat in the pot.

Under their feet were also a pile of empty beer bottles.

A few beers had not affected Chen Yang much.

But Wu Kexin’s entire face was flushed, and from her bleary eyes, it was apparent that she was somewhat drunk.

“Chen Yang, is there any beer left?

I feel so hot,” Wu Kexin slurred after finishing her meat, asking Chen Yang for more beer.

Seeing Wu Kexin’s bleary eyes and deeply flushed face, Chen Yang couldn’t help but chuckle.

Just a while ago someone claimed she wouldn’t drink, but now she was the most enthusiastic drinker of them all.

“Boss, there’s no more beer,” Chen Yang said after glancing at the empty bottles on the ground.

“Then…

then make another trip to the village entrance and buy some more for me, beer with hot pot is really the best,” Wu Kexin murmured drunkenly.

“Boss, you are drunk; you can’t drink anymore.

Lie down and rest for a while,” Chen Yang declined Wu Kexin’s request, and tried to help her to an outside sickbed to lie down.

Hearing Chen Yang say this, Wu Kexin immediately sobered up a bit.

With a muddled consciousness, she held her blazing face with both hands, thinking to herself, ‘Oh no.’

She had unintentionally gotten drunk without even realizing it until Chen Yang pointed it out.

“I think I’m really drunk…

everything in front of me is spinning, what’s going on…”

Wu Kexin muttered drunkenly.

Chen Yang secretly smiled, didn’t respond to Wu Kexin, and instead helped her to the sickbed.

“Boss, rest for a while; you’ll sober up after lying down.”

Beer doesn’t cause a deep drunkness.

A little rest can bring sobriety.

After laying Wu Kexin down on the sickbed, Chen Yang turned and went inside, cleaning up their dinnerware and beer bottles.

By the time he had finished, it was almost dark outside.

Suddenly, the roaring sound of an engine came from outside.

Chen Yang stepped out to see that Boss Fu was getting ready to leave.

He had come to say goodbye.

“Boss, the wire mesh will be done tomorrow.

I’m heading back now,” Boss Fu said with a smile.

This statement had a deeper meaning,

On the surface, it seemed like a casual farewell to Chen Yang, but it was also a reminder that the project would be completed tomorrow.

It was time to settle the accounts for the labor.

Chen Yang understood Boss Fu’s message and patted him on the shoulder, “Alright, come by tomorrow, and we’ll measure the squares and settle your payment.”

Upon hearing this, Boss Fu’s smile broadened.

“Alright, alright, thank you, boss.”

Boss Fu nodded in satisfaction, then turned and climbed into the pickup truck, driving off with his construction crew.
