Farming Space Makes Me Rich Novel - Chapter 662

Chapter 662: Drink!

Taoyuan Village was very lively that night. Ever since they allowed visitors to stay overnight, Taoyuan Village had started nighttime events.

Colorful lights hang on the branches, eaves, or windows. It created a colorful and peaceful atmosphere.

Taoyuan Village had even designated a street for nightlife.

There were lanterns used for riddles, performing arts, traditional crafts, and local specialties. The visitors could join the bustling crowd there at night.

That night, all the members of the Xiao family had gathered together. They held a welcoming banquet for Old Master Gong. Everyone was very happy.

In the past two years, even though their lives were getting better, they were still worried about Gong Tianhao and Old Master Gong.

Back then, Old Master Gong had decisively ordered people to erase all information about Xiao Lingyu and her son. The Xiao Family knew then that Old Master Gong might be in danger in the capital. Later, even if they wanted to talk, they had to do it in secret. That showed how dangerous it was.

Even though the Xiao Family knew that there was nothing they could do, they were worried. They prayed silently in their hearts.

They prayed that Gong Tianhao would wake up soon and that Old Master Gong would be safe and sound in the capital.

Now that Old Master Gong had returned to Taoyuan Village in good health, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. When they heard that Gong Tianhao had also woken up, they were completely relieved.

“Brother Gong, come. Qiuying and the others are making your favorite dishes today,” Grandpa Xiao said with a smile, “Qiuying said that you can eat as much as you want today. We are all very happy, so let’s not spoil everyone’s mood. You can eat and drink to your heart’s content.”

The others echoed, “Yes.”

“I’ve always wanted to find an occasion to take out second sister-in-law’s Peach Blossom Brew. Second brother, you have to open the brew. We can have a drink.” Fourth Uncle Xiao said with a smile, “Tonight, we’ll drink until we’re drunk. How about it?”

Fourth Aunt Xiao next to him lightly patted his arm and said with a smile, “Don’t you have to work tomorrow?”

Fourth Uncle Xiao was contracted to transport all kinds of goods in the Taoyuan Village, especially the vegetables. They had to be sent to various supermarkets early in the morning!

Although Fourth Uncle Xiao would not personally drive the trucks, he was commanding the logistics of the transport, so he also had to wake up early.

…

Fourth Uncle Xiao said happily, “It’s okay. I don’t need to personally drive the goods. I just need to be at the office when it’s time.”

Fourth Aunt Xiao didn’t say anything else.

After all, everyone was happy today. Fourth Aunt Xiao wouldn’t want to rain on their parade. Fourth Aunt Xiao smiled and said, “Alright, you can drink.”

Father Xiao went to the backyard and dug out the peach blossom brew that mother Xiao jad brewed two years ago from the soil.

The Taoyuan Village brand was now very famous. Everything from Taoyuan Village sold well. So far, Xiao Lingyu had opened 20 to 30 supermarkets in the country.

Apart from selling vegetables and the local specialties of the Taoyuan Village, each supermarket sold a variety of products, such as tofu products, sweet potato powder, potato powder, and so on. They were all very popular.

There was another popular hit, and that was the local wine.

Rice wine, wheat wine, Peach Blossom Wine, health wine, and so on. Once they were released, people from all walks of life would rush to order them.

The most popular was definitely the health wine. People who drank them could see the effects directly. The health wine was only reserved for the Xiao Family’s close friends. They were not sold at the supermarkets.

The Peach Blossom Brew that Father Xiao took out was the first batch of fine wine that Mother Xiao personally brewed two years ago. Apart from a small portion of it being given to some acquaintances as favors, the rest was buried in the backyard by Mother Xiao and Father Xiao.

When important guests arrived, they would dig out one or two jars of peach blossom brew from the backyard. This was a treasured wine. The longer it was stored, the more mellow its taste.

Father Xiao carried two jars of wine over. Fourth Uncle Xiao immediately took one and opened it. The fragrance of the wine immediately filled the air and made people’s spirits rise. Their eyes lit up and they became excited.

“Good wine!” When Old Master Gong smelled the fragrance of the wine, he immediately praised, “Yu ‘Er, I also want to try such a fragrant wine!” Old Master Gong immediately asked his granddaughter-in-law.

Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, “Grandpa, Mom said that everyone can eat and drink to their heart’s content today, so you can drink a little.” Speaking up to this point, Xiao Lingyu emphasized again, “Grandpa, you can only drink a little!”

Xiao Letong immediately suggested, “Great-grandpa, you can drink a little of the Peach Blossom Brew, but you can drink as much of the health fruit wine as you want. Mommy, isn’t that right?”

Old Master Gong’s eyes lit up. “We’ll get drunk on fruit wine today!” The health-preserving fruit wine had good effects. When Old Master Gong was still in the capital, Xiao Lingyu would have people send them over.

The Xiao family members, regardless of gender, would drink some wine.

There were Peach Blossom Brew and fruit wines on the entire table.

Xiao Wang and Xiao Zheng had always been by the old master’s side. They could be said to be the closest people to him.

They had drunk quite a lot of the fruit wine that Xiao Lingyu had sent to the old master.

However, they had not tasted the Peach Blossom Brew before.

Hence, the moment they smelled the fragrance of the wine, they started to salivate. However, they still thought of their responsibilities.

They were people with principles. As long as they were on a mission, they wouldn’t drink a single drop of wine. Drinking would ruin their sharpness.

But tonight…

The two of them looked at the Peach Blossom Brew in Father Xiao and Fourth Uncle Xiao’s hands with burning eyes. Their eyes were filled with greed.

They swallowed their saliva and looked elsewhere.

Noticing their expressions, Old Master Gong immediately smiled and said, “Tonight, you two can have a drink. It’s a happy occasion.”

“No, Old Master, we still need to look after you!” Xiao Zhang and Xiao Wang immediately shook their heads and said.

In the capital, there had been several assassination attempts on Old Master Gong. Fortunately, his defense was well-placed and his protection was airtight, preventing those behind-the-scenes instigators from succeeding.

However, Old Master Gong was not easy to bully.

After he was safe, he immediately got people to investigate. After they found out the truth, they immediately dealt with those people or families in a swift and decisive manner.

However, what was surprising was that the people who tried to assassinate Old Master Gong were all from second-rate families.

People from first-rate families actually did not participate.

Of course, for people from second-rate families to have the courage to assassinate Old Master Gong, they definitely had someone backing them up.

The people backing them up were undoubtedly from the first-rate families.

However, they hid their tails well. After the mission failed, they immediately erased all traces and even cut off all ties with the captured families.

However, Old Master Gong acted swiftly and ruthlessly. It was to intimidate everyone in the capital. After that, days in the Gong Family slowly calmed down.

In the past two years, as Old Master Gong’s personal guards, it was Xiao Wang and Xiao Zhang’s sacred duty to protect Old Master Gong’s safety. They didn’t dare to slack off at all. They kept a respectful distance from wine. They had been sober for two years already.

Old Master Gong smiled and said, “It’s fine. I don’t need you to protect me tonight.”

Xiao Wang and Xiao Zhang shook their heads and said, “Old Master, that won’t do!”

At this moment, Gong Yinxiong said, “Xiao Zhang, Xiao Wang, I’m here today. Or do you not trust in my ability?”

At this moment, Old Master Gong’s face darkened and he said in a commanding tone, “Xiao Zhang, Xiao Wang, I order you to drink!” In order to protect his safety, Xiao Zhang and Xiao Wang did their best to protect him. They had almost lost their lives many times during these two years.

So, Old Master Gong wanted to reward them properly.
