The two lunch boxes were placed on the stove lid, and the two of them sat around the stove.

After a while, the aroma came out, the aroma of beef was overbearing.

"By the way, do you want to drink? This is a wine shop, and we only have wine."

Chen Jiang shook his head. "I don't drink. Do you want to drink? I'll go get you some."

Cao Xueying had this idea, but she felt a little embarrassed to drink it alone.

This time Chen Jiang was very smart and realized that the girl wanted to drink.

He stood up and quickly went to the backyard to get a teacup.

Bringing a glass of wine over, "Drink first. If it's not enough, I'll get you more."

"You really don't want to drink?"

Chen Jiang shook his head. "No, I seldom drink. I used to stay sober at all times and couldn't drink."

"You don't have to carry out the mission now. I'll give you a drink. It's boring to drink alone. Let's drink together."

Chen Jiang knew that most women in the Northeast would drink a few sips. After all, it was too cold here, especially when they lived in the mountains. Drinking was normal.

“I really rarely drink.”

"Why don't you just give it a try? I'll go get you a glass and some wine."

"No, just sit down, I can go by myself."

Although this man is older than herself and has always lived at the foot of the mountain and has come into contact with many people, he looks more innocent than the girl who grew up in the mountains.

She also stood up and went to the backyard to get the wine-heating tool that Manager Shen had used. Wouldn't it be more comfortable to drink without the elders around?
A small wine table was also brought out, and Chen Jiang looked at her in amazement as the girl actually ordered a pot of wine.

"Don't drink it cold, drink it hot. Drink it until it warms up in your stomach."

Chen Jiang was watching from the side.

"Eat first. It's better to eat something before drinking."

He didn't eat beef, but sauerkraut, and saved the vermicelli, meat and frozen tofu for Cao Xueying.

Watching with a smile on his face, he said, "You eat meat too. I can't eat so much."

"you eat."

"Why don't you eat it? You're much thinner than my brother and the others."

"I'm not skinny. If you eat meat, you should eat more."

Cao Xueying poured wine for the two of them. "Try Manager Shen's wine. It's really good, but the wine made by people in our mountains is also very good. I also made fruit wine. When the ginseng is brought down, I will leave some for you to try."

"wine?"

"Yes, I am reluctant to give up grain wine. It is not easy for us to grow grain in the mountains. It is very precious for us to use grain to make wine.

Take a sip, take a small sip at first and see if you can get used to it?"

Chen Jiang picked up the wine cup and took a sip, frowning, "It's spicy, I don't think it tastes good."

Cao Xueying smiled and said, "Take your time and eat the meat."

Chen Jiang looked at the girl as she sipped wine and ate meat, her expression showing she was enjoying it very much.

I really couldn't understand it, but I drank when she asked me to.

I didn't feel anything special, but after drinking it, I felt warm all the way from my throat to my stomach.

"Don't always drink and eat vegetables."

After a few drinks, Cao Xueying saw the man opposite her with a red face and watery eyes. What a sin! How could a grown man have such an expression?
Chen Jiang really didn't think it tasted good, but his face was burning.

He put down the wine glass, touched his face, and glanced at the girl opposite him. She was fine.

"Can you still drink? You only drank one or two glasses of wine."

"I don't know." "Feeling dizzy?"

"No, I just feel a little light."

"You've had too much to drink. Stop drinking."

“Is this what it feels like to be drunk?”

"Yeah, eating."

Chen Jiang didn't force it and started eating obediently.

How could he be so obedient? She saw cuteness in a grown man. Cao Xueying shook her head, drank the last cup of wine, and started to eat.

The two of them ate up all the meat and the rice as well.

"This food is better than the food we have during the Chinese New Year. We can only eat a bowl of rice during the Chinese New Year. People from the village buy it from the mountain. It's not as delicious as your rice."

Chen Jiang laughed and said, "My third sister never messes around when it comes to food. Every time she sees me, she always gives me a lot of delicious food, just because she's afraid that I won't eat well.

In fact, all my comrades-in-arms went through the same thing, including me. My third sister gave me delicious food, and our political commissar would also secretly give me delicious food. "

Wow, he looks like a good kid. I really want to touch his head.

After eating, Chen Jiang stood up and wanted to wash the lunch box.

Cao Xueying smiled and said, "You really have drunk too much. Sit down. I'll do it."

"No, I'll do it. You sit down and rest."

That’s great. He doesn’t have the bad habit of not doing housework like his older brothers.

He seemed to be a little unsteady when walking, and Cao Xueying just watched with a smile on her face.

Although he only has one hand, he can work well. Even if he is drunk, he still washes the lunch box twice. He is a clean person.

After cleaning up, Chen Jiang sat aside and sighed, "It doesn't feel good to drink too much."

"Why not?"

“It feels unresponsive.”

"really."

"It would be troublesome if we went to the battlefield in this state. I remember once we ambushed drunk Japanese soldiers. They were staggering and we couldn't aim well when we shot them."

"Haven't you already retired? It's okay for you to drink."

Chen Jiang looked at Cao Xueying with grievance on his face. "I don't want to step down. But my third sister said that if I go to the battlefield in my current state, I will implicate my comrades.

But I was unwilling to give up, I wanted to kill the enemy, I wanted to win as soon as possible, so that my brothers would suffer fewer casualties. "

Cao Xueying had never met him before and couldn't understand it, but seeing how aggrieved he looked, she decided to comfort him.

"If you do your other work well, it will also speed up your victory."

Chen Jiang sighed, "Every time I see the seriously injured soldiers and the brothers who sacrificed their lives, I wish I could go to the battlefield myself.

But what can I, a useless person, do? I feel so powerless. "

Although I felt dizzy and wanted to talk, I knew what I could say and what I couldn't say.

"You are already very good, you are a hero."

"What kind of hero am I? My brothers all died. At that time, I was also determined to die, but I didn't expect that I would survive. But this broken body can no longer go to the battlefield and avenge my brothers."

Cao Xueying was really afraid that he would cry. She could understand some of what he said, but she didn't feel the same way.

"By the way, are you going back to the army?" I'd better change the subject. How am I going to comfort her if she starts crying?
"Yes, I'm in charge of logistics now." Chen Jiang said with a wry smile, "I don't want to leave the army in my life, just because of my third brother-in-law and my third sister. Otherwise, I would just retire and go home.

I want to stay in the army, but my third sister doesn't want to because she's afraid I'll be in danger again, but I really like it."
