Chapter 1367: This Is a Bit Unusual!

Zhang Laojiu responded quickly this time: "Your grandma’s not feeling well, so she took your brother back to see her."

Shuiyu didn’t suspect anything; her grandma was already over sixty, her health hasn’t been good.

"Did grandma’s cold leg act up again? Then I’ll go check on her too."

Zhang Laojiu said, "No rush, it’s getting late today. There’s plenty of time to go tomorrow."

"Okay, then I’ll go tomorrow and bring some specialty products from the Capital City for grandma," Shuiyu said as she took things out of her bag.

Zhang Laojiu looked at his daughter, his gaze darkened a little, and said, "Shuiyu, you cook your own meal, I’ll go get two taels of wine."

Shuiyu nodded: "Alright, I’ll start cooking after I take out the stuff, you go ahead."

But Shuiyu didn’t notice her dad heading toward the direction of the village office. Moreover, he was going to make a phone call.

Shuiyu smoothly began cooking in the kitchen.

When she opened the cupboard, she found a bottle of wine at the top. She opened it and sniffed; it was the same kind of loose rice wine her dad usually drank.

She felt curious; since there was still wine at home, why did her dad go out to get more?

Maybe he was too happy and forgot? She made an excuse for her dad.

When she lifted the lid of the rice jar, she realized there wasn’t much rice left, thinking she’d go fetch some grain to mill tomorrow.

But, if she checked the granary, she’d know there wasn’t any grain there at all.

She scooped out the remaining rice from the bottom of the jar, rinsed it, and set it to cook.

Looking up at the spot above the stove, in past years, there would be a row of cured meat hanging there, but now, it’s utterly empty.

Cured meat is best when smoked longer; if it’s not hung by now, it might still not be dry by the New Year. Probably, because grandma wasn’t well and mom was busy at grandma’s, they forgot to hang the cured meat.

Shuiyu thought for a moment, then took out a pack of sausage she bought, cut a section, found a few potatoes at the bottom of the cupboard, and prepared to braise potatoes with sausage.

During dinner, Zhang Laojiu poured Shuiyu a glass of wine too: "Shuiyu, you haven’t come home for half a year. Dad’s been thinking about you at home. Just accompany dad for a drink tonight."

Shuiyu found it strange, her dad never asked her to drink before.

Besides, she remembered her dad once told her: "Girls shouldn’t try to outdrink others outside, or you’ll easily be taken advantage of. And you shouldn’t drink at home either; a girl who drinks won’t find a husband, because men don’t like women who drink."

But today, her dad actually asked her to drink with him?

This is a bit unusual!

Shuiyu declined: "Dad, I don’t drink."

Zhang Laojiu looked a bit awkward: "Ah, I’m just happy to see you, thinking there’s someone to drink with. If you really can’t drink, dad won’t force you."

Mengyu suddenly felt a bit guilty: Dad just wants someone to drink with, so she should accompany him for a glass. Anyway, with her current power, even if she drank the whole bottle, she could expel the alcohol by activating her cultivation technique, and she wouldn’t get drunk.

She took the glass her dad poured and said: "Alright, I’ll sit with dad for this one glass."

She also wanted to take this chance to have a heart-to-heart talk with her dad.

"Alright, then accompany dad for this one glass." Zhang Laojiu’s face beamed like a blooming chrysanthemum.
