"Hmph," Mr. Qunfang snorted coldly, and felt that his behavior at the moment seemed a bit out of place, so he added reluctantly, "Happy birthday."

"Thank you teacher, I knew the teacher was the best!" Shen Chuqing had just finished saying thank you when she remembered what she said before that she didn't like to hear thank you.

I quickly added another sentence, probably because I was too happy, there was an unprecedented playfulness in my voice, but it made Mr. Qunfang feel very comfortable.

When Shen Chuqing was about to ask Lawyer Zhou how long it would take to come back, Zhou Xu's voice sounded from the restaurant door: "I'm sorry to keep you waiting so long! There was a little traffic jam on the road just now."

Shen Chuqing raised her head and met Zhou Xu's smiling face.

Zhou Xu walked in with a smile, and greeted everyone in the room with a smile: "Hello, Aunt! Hello, Aunt Chen! Happy birthday, Chuqing!"

"You can't leave early when you know you're going to have dinner at home, and you always use the excuse of traffic jams. It's not a festival, so there are so many traffic jams for you."

"I... really encountered a traffic jam, and it was you who said that no matter what the circumstances, I can no longer drive fast. I have always obeyed your orders." Mr. Qunfang's reprimand was obvious to Zhou Xu. I've already gotten used to it, and he took the words in a coquettish tone.

"Wash your hands and eat. The food will be cold in a while." Mr. Qunfang said coldly, obviously not talking nonsense with him.

Zhou Xu responded with a good word, and immediately walked to the sink, washed his hands and face, and then sat in his seat, winking at Shen Chuqing who was sitting opposite him.

Shen Chuqing's hostility towards him had long been eliminated, but she was extremely envious of the way he got along with Mr. Qunfang.

Although he didn't know what he meant by blinking, he returned a shallow smile.

"Do you drink? In Qunfang Garden, you can have a drink or two on festivals and birthdays?" Mr. Qunfang said suddenly.

"I do not drink"

"How can people from Sichuan not drink, Lao Chen, pour her a glass of the mulberry wine we brewed ourselves last year."

Mr. Qunfang gave the order directly, without giving Shen Chuqing a chance to refuse.

Aunt Chen obviously had been prepared a long time ago. She took a glass jar from the wine rack next to her, took out a special wine set for making wine, first scooped up a full glass, and gave it to Mr. Qunfang with a smile and said: "Smell This taste is much more mellow than that during the Spring Festival, the longer the wine is kept, the better it tastes, and if it is hand-brewed, it must be preserved."

Mr. Qunfang smiled and nodded: "This year's bayberries are coming out, let's buy more and make some bayberry wine for storage."

Aunt Chen said hello, then scooped up half a cup and handed it to Shen Chuqing: "You don't need to drink too much, just taste it!"

"Thank you, Aunt Chen." Shen Chuqing quickly reached out to take it, and Aunt Chen scooped another cup for Zhou Xu and herself, sealed the jars unhurriedly, and then returned to her seat and sat down.

"It's still the old rule, let's go first, it's not too late to eat." Zhou Xu picked up the wine and said with a smile, and Shen Chuqing quickly followed their example and raised the wine glass.

It was the first time for a person in his twenties to drink alcohol. Shen Chuqing only dared to take a small sip. Apart from the faint taste of wine, there was also a trace of inexplicable sweetness.

Shen Chuqing didn't dislike this taste, so she took another sip, and when the mulberry wine melted on the tip of her tongue, she felt that the blood in her whole body was also warming up.

"Eat..." Mr. Qunfang looked at the drunkenness in her eyes, and shouted in a good mood, and everyone moved their chopsticks together.

At the dining table, silence was restored again, except for the sound of cups clinking, no one took the initiative to speak.

Shen Chuqing drank the wine in the glass, and finished the bowl of longevity noodles. Under the signal of Aunt Chen's eyes, she had to peel and eat the remaining egg.

Mr. Qunfang didn't eat much, and he only picked some light dishes to eat. He quickly finished his dinner and took Huanglong Oolong for a walk in the mulberry forest to digest his food.

When everyone finished their dinner, Shen Chuqing wanted to help clean up the dishes, but as soon as she stood up, her feet were unstable and she was about to fall to the ground. Fortunately, Zhou Xu was quick and helped her up.

"Drunk?" Zhou Xu asked with concern.

Shen Chuqing shook her head soberly, and said, "No, I just feel a little heavy in my head, and I don't seem to have any strength in my legs, just go back and rest for a while!"

After finishing speaking, he pushed Zhou Xu away, supported the wall next to him, and walked carefully on the long corridor outside.

The feet are like stepping on the cotton, so light that no force is needed at all. Although the person is very awake, his head slowly hurts.

Shen Chuqing was still unwilling to admit that she would get drunk after drinking such a little wine, so she gritted her teeth and prepared to move on.

Unknowingly, she reached the steps of the long corridor, Shen Chuqing didn't notice the change under her feet at all, she raised her foot and stepped on it.

She stepped on the air and fell heavily on the ground. The pain caused her to wake up again.

Rubbing the knee that hurt from the fall, he wanted to get up, but he couldn't use his strength. When he looked up, he saw Zhou Xu striding towards him.

Smiling, he stretched out his hand and said, "Lawyer Zhou, please help me up."

Zhou Xu helped her up with a concerned face, and pulled up her trousers to check her injuries.

Shen Chuqing grabbed his hand and said with a smile: "I didn't fall, but my legs don't have the strength to get up. Please help me to sit next to me first, and I'll go back to the room after a while."

Seeing that she was still on guard when she was drunk, Zhou Xu didn't know whether to be happy or sad, so he helped her sit on the bench next to her as she said.

He whispered: "You rest here and don't walk around. I'll ask Aunt Chen to come over and take a look for you. Is there any injury on your leg?"

"Don't go, you sit here, let's chat for a while, have a conversation?" Shen Chuqing grabbed the corner of his clothes and said.

Zhou Xu couldn't move away, so he could only sit next to her, turned his head and looked at the three steps, and couldn't help but regret that he didn't notice this safety hazard when he was building the house before.

"Lawyer Zhou, may I ask you a question?"

"Tell me..." Zhou Xu looked at her drunken eyes, and didn't know whether her head was clear or not.

"Is your fee expensive? How much is an hour?

We are also acquaintances, can you charge less, I only ask one question? "

It seemed that he was indeed drunk, otherwise he wouldn't have said such nonsense.

"You ask, I won't charge you," Zhou Xu said gently.

"You're so kind, then I'm not going to be polite, I want to ask... what do I want to ask? Why can't I remember?"
