Chapter 280 Grape Wine Luminous Cup

Boys definitely learn this faster. Da Bao can now learn to juggle the ball very quickly. He started running around the yard, so happy that he felt like he could fly.

Pei Yuan nodded and said, "Da Bao is really amazing, he learns so fast!"

"Try a little longer, and you'll be able to kick it soon!"

Encouraged by Pei Yuan, Da Bao continued kicking.

At this moment, Xiao Bao became a little anxious. Pei Yuan went over and hugged her, then led her to feel the sensation of playing Cuju (ancient Chinese football) with her feet. Xiao Bao happily clapped her hands the whole time.

The two children were having a great time playing with Pei Yuan in the yard. Su Xiaoxiao watched them from the side, and at that moment she truly felt the warmth of home.

Mr. Li drank until midnight, and on the third day of the Lunar New Year, he woke up early.

The hangover headache left him feeling lost, so he immediately got up to find Su Xiaoxiao.

"Quick, my head hurts so much. Miss Su, please make me some soup to help me sober up!"

Helpless, Su Xiaoxiao happened to have some chicken at home, so she made him chicken soup noodles.

Mr. Li was almost moved to tears. "Thanks to Miss Su, I was able to enjoy such delicious chicken soup noodles. It's so good for my stomach to have such delicious food first thing in the morning, it feels so comforting..."

Su Xiaoxiao thought to herself, "This Mr. Li is quite knowledgeable about health preservation."

He drank alcohol the day before, and the next day he immediately knew to ask Su Xiaoxiao for something to help him sober up.

No wonder, they studied medicine, so naturally they know about health maintenance.

Su Xiaoxiao placed another piece of pheasant meat on Mr. Li's plate, saying, "Try it, this is pheasant meat."

Mr. Li was very surprised. "I knew this chicken I just ate was different from the chicken I usually eat. It really is. I'm in for a treat this time."

"By the way, do you have any other wines besides Nu'er Hong? I usually like to drink some Shaoxing wine in the morning, something with a low alcohol content..."

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao realized that Mr. Li really did love drinking, and he drank three times a day without fail.

"Yes, there really is. It's wine brought from foreign lands."

As she spoke, Su Xiaoxiao took a bottle of wine from her wine cabinet.

The color of this wine is beautiful too. Isn't there a saying, "Fine wine in a luminous cup"? When the wine was poured into the cup, Mr. Li's eyes widened in amazement.

"nice."

Su Xiaoxiao said to Mr. Li, "Mr. Li, you can swirl the wine glass before drinking; this is called 'breathing up' the wine."

Mr. Li's eyes widened in surprise, revealing an expression of disbelief.

He couldn't wait to take a sip of the wine, and then immediately gave Su Xiaoxiao a thumbs up.

"Hmm, this wine is sweet and sour, it tastes good."

"Right, this wine will probably be more popular in the future, especially when it's used for holding things, it will be very useful."

Mr. Li continued, “What do you mean by pretending? I do know a lot about wine, don’t I? This wine has a very strong aroma, and after tasting it, it has a slightly sour taste. But the sourness is well controlled, allowing you to feel the sourness and sweetness blending together, leaving a very long finish.”

Su Xiaoxiao was quite happy to hear Mr. Li's long and detailed description.

It's clear that only someone who understands wine would give it such high praise.

It's true that a thousand cups of wine are too few when drinking with a kindred spirit; one must also meet someone who understands wine to truly enjoy it. Su Xiaoxiao accompanied Mr. Li for a little red wine, and the two of them chatted happily at the dinner table.

It wasn't until Liu Qiaomei got up and came over that she saw Mr. Li chatting with Su Xiaoxiao, and the two seemed to be having a great time. She hesitated at the door, wondering whether she should come in.

When Su Xiaoxiao saw her, she beckoned her over and served her a bowl of noodles as well.

Liu Qiaomei lowered her head shyly and began to eat her noodles. Su Xiaoxiao quickly created a topic of conversation between her and Mr. Li.

"By the way, Mr. Li, you're forty years old this year, aren't you? I haven't heard that you have any plans to get married yet?"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Li's face showed a hint of embarrassment.

"I haven't met the right person."

Clearly, this wasn't a topic Mr. Li was good at, so Su Xiaoxiao ignored his embarrassment and went straight to the point.

“Our Qiaomei is 16 years old this year, which is a good age. She has the same hobby as you, and you both like to sing folk songs. By the way, our Qiaomei also likes embroidery, and she is very good at it.”

Liu Qiaomei was embarrassed by Su Xiaoxiao's praise. "Oh, not at all. I only know a little bit about it."

"No, that's not true. Qiaomei is very skillful, that's something we all agree on."

After Su Xiaoxiao said that, she saw that Liu Qiaomei's face was red.

"So, Mr. Li, if you're going to get married, you must find a woman like our Qiaomei, am I right?"

Su Xiaoxiao doesn't just play matchmaker; she had noticed before that Mr. Li paid special attention to Liu Qiaomei.

Moreover, the two found themselves quite compatible when discussing music, and Su Xiaoxiao was certain that her intuition was absolutely correct.

That is indeed the case.

It seemed the two were truly destined for each other. Just as Su Xiaoxiao was about to try and bring them together again, Mr. Li, holding a wine glass, said to Su Xiaoxiao, "I've taken this whole bottle of wine inside to drink. I'm finished eating, you two enjoy your meal!"

Mr. Li was clearly avoiding the matter. Just when Su Xiaoxiao thought she was about to successfully bring the two of them together, Mr. Li managed to sway her away.

Was he shy, or did he disagree with Su Xiaoxiao's suggestion to introduce Liu Qiaomei as his wife? Su Xiaoxiao couldn't figure it out, leaving her and Liu Qiaomei standing there in a daze.

Su Xiaoxiao took the opportunity to ask Liu Qiaomei what she thought, but Liu Qiaomei was still shy.

"Now is not the time to be shy; you have to seize opportunities. Qiaomei, you have a good impression of Mr. Li, don't you?"

Liu Qiaomei nodded.

"Actually, you don't necessarily have to be with the person you really like in your life. First love doesn't understand love. The right person is the one you should spend your life with."

Despite advising others in this way, Su Xiaoxiao herself still couldn't do it.

To be honest, Mr. Li has many good qualities. He is a little older than Liu Qiaomei, and while he can be considered mature, he sometimes acts like a child.

However, whenever Su Xiaoxiao saw him saving and treating people in the clinic, she would be captivated by the aura emanating from Mr. Li.

Moreover, this person is kind-hearted, with the compassion of a doctor. Every doctor possesses great love and a spirit of saving lives.

Such a person truly deserves our respect and admiration. It is indeed a blessing that Liu Qiaomei was able to marry Mr. Li.

However, Su Xiaoxiao also witnessed something today: Mr. Li seemed to be avoiding the topic of marriage. As for what the hidden reasons were, Su Xiaoxiao didn't know for the time being.
