Chapter 5 Wine and Peach (1)

It is so hot in summer and so cold in winter, which is the iconic feature of Nanjing, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. The cold winter makes people wrap all kinds of down jackets and coats tightly when traveling.

It’s good to have a meal when there are few people, and it’s good to have a New Year. This year’s New Year is quite light. Except for going to his father’s place for a New Year’s Eve dinner on New Year’s Eve, and running to his Uncle Yao to celebrate the festival in the first lunar month, Liu Xiaoyu didn’t go anywhere for the rest of the time.

With a leisurely life, a calm mind, life is becoming more and more free and easy. Maybe it is because of the mysterious space. After graduating from a technical school, Liu Xiaoyu's head, which was not very smart, is becoming more and more useful now. Although it is not easy to remember, you can basically remember a book by reading it a few times.

Now, I have nothing to do when I am idle. I can recite the Taoist "Tao Te Ching", Huangting Sutra" and the Buddhist "Heart Sutra of Prajna Paramita" fluently after reading it for a few days. Not to mention, although these scriptures are obscure and difficult to understand when I read them carefully, I can always feel something that is indescribable whenever I calm down and savor them.

Following the lives of ancient people, Liu Xiaoyu only checked out Piaotianwen every day. After trying the red ginseng wine in the space several times, Liu Xiaoyu fell in love with the mellow feeling in the mouth. He got two ginseng moving in the field of the space and then threw them into the wine jar to soak it. He specially bought a stainless steel flat wine pot filled with soaked ginseng wine. When going out for a walk or morning exercise in the winter, he would take a sip from time to time, which would keep the health and drive away the cold.

Mr. He is a man of old age. His whole personality is very close to Liu Xiaoyu. Over time, the difference between these two is almost forty years old and young, so they become a couple who are celebrating their age.

Although Liu Xiaoyu could feel that the other party’s family background should be quite low from Mr. He’s words and behaviors, it’s important to be friends. As for what the other party does and how his family is, Liu Xiaoyu didn’t even think about it, let alone ask.

Whenever the two chatted, Mr. He would say with a pity that Liu Xiaoyu learned boxing too late. If he started practicing such qualifications since childhood, it would be too exaggerated to say that he could become a master, but at least he could become a good boxer. After hearing this, Liu Xiaoyu knew in his heart that there was no space to appear, where did he get his talent and qualifications?

Mr. He originally wanted to teach Liu Xiaoyu something better, but Liu Xiaoyu declined and said that this is the era, and it is enough to have the ability to protect himself. What should I do if I learn it?

As time went by, Liu Xiaoyu's punches became better and better. After learning other people's punches for nothing, Liu Xiaoyu was a little embarrassed. As a result, he became friends with Mr. He. After drinking twice, Mr. He felt it was very good, so he immediately asked him to help buy two bottles of this kind of wine. Liu Xiaoyu directly explained that there was no place to buy this wine, that is, it was soaked with ordinary sorghum wine and ginseng, which was not a good thing.

At that time, Mr. He didn't believe it and said no. The wine smelled, the ginseng flavor and the aroma of the wine perfectly blended together to form a mellow wine aroma. It tasted so medicinal but not violent. It was definitely an excellent supplement to nourish the body and replenish qi. Mr. He, who was a child, accused Liu Xiaoyu of hiding his own private interests and not knowing to share good things.

Of course, Liu Xiaoyu couldn't say that this was entirely due to space, so he had to say that it was more troublesome to soak the wine and it took time. After the soaking, he would definitely give it two bottles before Mr. He gave up.

Just after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Mr. He's phone call came, saying that he wanted Liu Xiaoyu to go to his place for dinner. He also bluntly stated that he asked him to bring his own wine. He did not refuse, and asked him to ask the detailed address and hung up Liu Xiaoyu, who hung up the phone, was a little funny.

Nowadays, the ginseng wine in the space is soaked in large jars. I am afraid that the ginseng in the space will attract unnecessary attention. Later, when I give it to his father and uncle, I will give it directly, so the ginseng is still soaked in the space.

I found a ten-pound jar of empty wine from the space, filled it with ginseng wine and walked towards He's hometown with my hands.

The cold temperature was completely unaffected, but in order not to attract attention, he put on a long coat and wore gloves outside the single clothes.

After the Little New Year, the streets have basically resumed normal abortion. Perhaps because people's living standards have improved, the New Year atmosphere during this New Year is no longer so heavy. Unlike when I was a child, I looked forward to the New Year every day, the New Year atmosphere at that time was quite heavy.

It was only two stops away, and Liu Xiaoyu didn't take a bus, and walked all the way. Xihe Yayuan is the only large high-end residential community in the suburbs of the city. It is said that the housing price is as high as more than 9,000 per square meter. With the geographical location of the suburbs of the city, this price is already a sky-high price.

When they walked to the entrance of the community, the security guard at the Menting blocked Liu Xiaoyu's way. It turned out that residents in high-end communities had cards to enter and exit, and strangers needed to register and confirm the entry and exit.

After registering, looking at the jar of sorghum wine placed next to the registration desk, the contempt and doubt flashed in the security guard's eyes made Liu Xiaoyu feel funny. Nowadays, people are looking down on people. If it weren't for this pretty good coat, I guess would have been so polite when I blocked the road just now.

Holding the wine bottle, I continued walking while enjoying the scenery of the community, looking at the withered trees, flowers and plants, I believe that when spring comes, this community will definitely have a different scene.

As I walked, I suddenly heard a cheerful laughter not far ahead, walking quickly with a vigorous old man.

"I knew you were too lazy to take the bus. You were about to arrive soon, so I met you here." Old He said as he looked at the jar of wine in Liu Xiaoyu's hand.

"I said Mr. He, it seems that you are not here to welcome me, it should be the jar of bar in my hand?" Liu Xiaoyu said with a smile holding the jar.

"Haha... I want to welcome you, but of course I want to welcome this wine even more." Old He snatched the jar of wine and said.

"Okay, I'll say Lao He, it turns out that I'm the same as this jar of broken wine." Liu Xiaoyu cursed with a smile.

"How can it be? How can it be? Let's go home quickly. Today we are the only ones at home. Let's have a good drink." Mr. He said greedily as he looked at the wine in his hand.

"Oh? You're the only one in your family?" Liu Xiaoyu asked.

"Yes, the nanny went back to her hometown for the New Year. It will take a few days to come. The children are all busy. There are only two of us at noon today. I have prepared a few specialties." Old He said while leading the way.

"Oh, that's how I'm so lucky today. Hurry up, I've had a free breakfast and I'm here to eat, you big family." Liu Xiaoyu said with a smile.

The environment in the community is very quiet, and the weather is still relatively cold, so there are almost no people in the community. After walking for a while, Mr. He took Liu Xiaoyu into a unit corridor. He opened the door on the first floor and was about to enter.

"Grandpa He, happy New Year." Suddenly, a tender childish voice rang out. When he turned around, a small figure squatted at the turn of the stairs.

"It's Nannan, why are you alone? Where is your little aunt (the name of nanny)?" Mr. He asked the little guy, touching his head and asking.
