Chapter 119: Chapter 119 Drinking Wine_1
A couple of months ago, because of the reservoir construction, the mountain was dusty, so Nan Feng didn’t care if she wore old clothes. But now with the New Year approaching, she couldn’t stand wearing those patched cotton-padded clothes that were black or gray. Hence, she decided to buy two new red cotton-padded jackets for herself.
In the ready-made clothing store, she spotted a furry black scarf that she liked. Upon learning that it only cost twenty cents, she immediately bought it happily.
After buying new clothes, she went shopping with Nan Quanyou for some red papers and couplets. She saw a pair of beautiful red lanterns in a store across the street and bought them too.
They also bought some sunflower seeds and peanuts. As most villagers would pass the New Year’s holiday leisurely, sunflower seeds and peanuts were popular snacks to kill the time.
As the New Year approached, many people came to town to prepare for the festival. Many villagers who normally wouldn’t visit town even once a year would accumulate their shopping needs till the New Year’s Eve. Consequently, as it got closer to noon, the human traffic got denser to the point of saturation.
When Nan Feng and her father had bought almost everything they needed, they decided to stop shopping. Nan Feng then took Nan Quanyou to a local restaurant named "House of Fortune" for lunch.
At the sight of the shining sign of the "House of Fortune", Nan Quanyou knew that dining there would be pricey, hence he firmly refused to go in. Nonetheless, Nan Feng insisted that her father deserved a good meal.
They ordered sweet and sour fish, a half roast chicken, and half a pot of wine. Each time a dish was served, Nan Quanyou would ask the waiter, "How much does this cost?"
Upon knowing the price, Nan Quanyou would express his distress: "We could buy half a month’s worth of pork with this money - why waste it here?"
"Dad, we don’t dine out every day. Plus, we can avoid cooking and dishwashing by eating at a restaurant. All you need to do is eat."
Nan Quanyou replied, "I still think it’s better to cook by ourselves. And your cooking is no worse than the restaurant chef’s."
"Dad——" Nan Feng pretended to be upset, "I just want to treat you to a decent meal in respect of the New Year, and you are so ungrateful."
Nan Quanyou had to compromise, "All right then... But only once a year. Let’s not dine out on ordinary days."
Nan Feng replied, "Deal. Next time, I’ll come alone and leave you behind!"
"..."
Nan Quanyou might voice his reluctance to dine out, but in reality, he just didn’t want to spend a lot of money. The smell of the sweet and sour fish and roast chicken in front of him was tantalizing. Plus, he hadn’t had wine for years.
The wine served was warm and of excellent quality, giving off rich and mellow aromas. Nan Quanyou felt flushed after a few sips.
Nan Feng had a strong tolerance for alcohol in her previous life, and apparently, it carried over to this life. Once she started drinking, she couldn’t resist the urge.
The father-daughter duo enjoyed their food and drink immensely, one sip of wine and a bite of food at a time.
Just as they were feasting, they overheard someone nearby saying, "Isn’t that the ugly girl?"
Nan Feng turned around, and there were Mo Wenxuan, Liu Chang, and Tie Dan.
Why were these guys here too?
And they happened to be seated at the adjacent table.
The one who had spoken was Liu Chang, the son of the hunter Liu. He sneered sarcastically, "I can’t believe the ugly girl got enough money to treat her father. I bet she got the money from the reservoir construction project, using Wenxuan to earn her reward. What a shameless girl."
Liu might appear modest and honest, but his son Liu Chang was a sophisticated miscreant.
Though Nan Quanyou was used to being bullied, he always knew how to protect Nan Feng. It was one thing to bully him, but they couldn’t cross the line to bully Nan Feng.
As Nan Quanyou was about to stand up and argue with Liu Chang, Nan Feng pushed him back down and asked, "Dad, what are you trying to do?"
