Courtyard House: New Life, New Silly Zhu

When He Yushui wanted to drink a second bowl, He Yuzhu didn't let her.

After all, we haven't eaten the steamed buns yet, so we shouldn't drink too much soup and fill ourselves up.

After the steamed buns were cooked, He Yuzhu took them down and put the rest of the buns in a basket. He then took a cloth and covered the buns with it.

Afterwards, He Yuzhu prepared to eat steamed buns and drink soup with He Yushui.

bang bang

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. He Yuzhu frowned and looked out.

Xu Damao was standing at the door, grinning at He Yuzhu with his big teeth showing.

"Silly Mao, what brings you here?"

He Yuzhu was a little curious. After all, Xu Damao's family was not short of food, so why would he come to his house at this time?

"Silly Zhu, didn't you think that with so many good dishes at your house today, it would be a bit incomplete without some wine? Look." As he spoke, Xu Damao took his hand out from behind his back.

A bottle of lotus white

"Silly Mao, you're really generous. Don't steal your dad's wine, will you?" He Yuzhu joked, but let Xu Damao in. It was only then that He Yuzhu noticed that Xu Xiaoling was following behind Xu Damao.

"Oh, Xiaoling's here too. Where are your parents?"

"Hello, Brother Zhu. They went out to work today, so it's just me and my brother at home." Xu Xiaoling greeted He Yuzhu very politely.

"Oh, I see. Then come in and eat with Yushui."

He Yuzhu's attitude towards Xu Xiaoling is very different from that of Xu Damao.

The main reason was that Xu Xiaoling had given He Yushui a lot of food when she was in trouble.

You should know that when He Yushui went to the old lady's house in the backyard to get something to eat, the old lady put away the noodles.

In comparison, Xu Xiaoling's performance was quite good.

"Sha Mao, why don't you take this wine back? Just bring a bottle of loose wine." He Yuzhu couldn't help but say this to Xu Damao when he saw Xu Damao put the wine on the table.

After all, alcohol still required coupons at this time, so the bottle of wine Xu Damao brought over was a bit excessive.

After all, the dishes he ordered only cost a few dollars, while the wine cost more than that.

"Silly Zhu, I may not have any other skills, but we're not exactly pushovers either." With that, he unscrewed the bottle.

Seeing that Xu Damao had already opened the bottle, he stopped talking and took out two glasses.

Xu Damao filled two glasses with wine, handed them to He Yuzhu, and said, "Drink this first, then we'll talk. Men don't beat around the bush, bottoms up."

After saying that, Xu Damao downed the glass of wine in one gulp, and even tilted the glass downwards to indicate that he had finished it all.

"Well done, Xu Damao, you can hold your liquor pretty well." He Yuzhu didn't waste any words, picked up the glass of wine, and downed it in one gulp.

Xu Xiaoling and He Yushui saw their brother drinking, but they didn't stop him. Instead, they chatted quietly beside him, eating steamed buns and vegetables.

Seeing He Yuzhu finish his drink, Xu Damao grinned slyly.

He came here today not only because his younger sister smelled the delicious food in the backyard and was craving it, so he brought her over for a meal, but also because he wanted to take this opportunity to get He Yuzhu drunk.

He Yuzhu had a tough time before, but he had never drunk alcohol. If he suddenly started drinking like this, he would easily get drunk. He wanted to take this opportunity to embarrass He Yuzhu.

"Alright, he's a real BJ guy. Come on, let's have another one." Xu Damao poured another full glass of wine, raised his glass to He Yuzhu, and then drank it.

"We'll take one at a time, but Xu Damao, I'm afraid you'll get drunk before I'm done drinking." After saying that, He Yuzhu didn't waste any more words and downed his glass of wine in one gulp.

"Do you think I'm that kind of guy? Let me tell you, I'll definitely make sure you're satisfied today." He then downed the glass of wine in front of him.

He Yuzhu took the opportunity to quickly eat a couple of bites of vegetables and a few bites of steamed buns to fill his stomach.

He Yuzhu then picked up the glass of wine, drank it all in one gulp, and said, "Xu Damao, I've heard that when toasting a leader, it's one big person and three small ones. Have you heard that?"

He Yuzhu didn't know whether Xu Damao had learned these tricks at this time or after marrying Lou Xiao'e, so he asked out of curiosity.

Xu Damao's eyes lit up when he heard He Yuzhu say that.

"Silly Zhu, explain in detail what this 'one big and three small' thing means? Why is it called 'one big and three small' when toasting?"

"Silly Mao, you don't know this, do you?" He Yuzhu chuckled, pointed to the glass of wine in front of Xu Damao, and said to him, "Come on, drink this glass of wine, and I'll tell you what 'one big and three small' means."

Hearing He Yuzhu ask him to drink another glass of wine, Xu Damao was extremely reluctant, but also very curious. After thinking for a moment, he gritted his teeth and finally picked up the glass and downed it in one gulp.

"I've already finished this drink, hurry up, be a man, stop dawdling." Xu Damao was getting a little tipsy.

He Yuzhu stopped teasing him: "This 'big and three small' thing means that if the leader drinks one cup, he drinks three cups, because the leader is the big one and he is the small one."

"So that's how it is," Xu Damao's eyes lit up when he heard such flattering words of toast.

"That's not all, Xu Damao. Drink this and I'll talk to you." He Yuzhu pointed to the glass of wine that Xu Damao had just filled.

Without saying a word, Xu Damao drank it all in one gulp and then looked at He Yuzhu expectantly.

"And another thing is, deep feelings mean downing it in one gulp, shallow feelings mean just a sip. So, Xu Damao, how's our relationship going? Let's see what this glass of wine holds for us." After saying that, He Yuzhu picked up the wine on the table and poured Xu Damao a full glass.

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words of encouragement to drink, Xu Damao slyly picked up the glass of wine and lightly licked the liquid with the tip of his tongue.

He Yuzhu was speechless. Xu Damao was very happy to see He Yuzhu like this.

"Silly Zhu, looks like yours isn't very good, hahaha." After saying that, Xu Damao laughed to himself.

Seeing Xu Damao's state, He Yuzhu suddenly realized that Xu Damao might be drunk.

That shouldn't be the case. Xu Damao has already started going to the countryside and often drinks with the people from the commune. He should be able to hold his liquor, but he shouldn't get drunk so easily, right?

Xu Damao's commotion finally caught the attention of Xu Xiaoling, who was chatting happily.

"Brother Zhu, don't drink with my brother anymore, he's definitely drunk."

"Drunk? Your brother's alcohol tolerance isn't great either." He Yuzhu looked at Xu Damao with amusement and teased Xu Xiaoling.

These words, however, provoked Xu Damao.

"I'm not drunk! Silly Zhu, I can still have a few more drinks with you. Today, I'll let you walk sideways." After saying that, Xu Damao picked up his glass and downed it in one gulp.

Xu Damao put down his wine glass and stared at He Yuzhu.

Seeing this, He Yuzhu was about to pick up his wine glass and drink it when Xu Damao suddenly fell backward.
