Qin Yang relaxed his expression because of her words, "and him too." His wife was independent; he only learned about her big business dealings through letters afterward, but now there were times she relied on him.
"Alright, we agreed on just one drink."
Lin Chuxia nodded like a pecking chick, receiving a glass of white liquor from Qin Yang as if it was a reward.
She took a deep sniff, "Smells so good."
Li Wei laughed at her, "You don’t know, sister-in-law, if we’re talking about specialties from the Northwest, this sorghum liquor is second to none."
"Seeing how lively you all are talking, I’ll try some too," Sister-in-law Song also picked up an empty glass.
Bai Xiaoming was not pleased, "What chaos are you adding? With your little alcohol tolerance, do you still want to go home later?"
Sister-in-law Song, who was sitting next to Lin Chuxia, had overheard most of the conversation between Lin Chuxia and Qin Yang, finding the young couple interesting and quite envious.
She and Bai Xiaoming had been living apart since marriage, unfamiliar in the early years, even the times when they had their first child were courteous.
There really wasn’t a time for the young couple to be coquettish.
She immediately said, "If I can’t return home, I still have you, right?"
Bai Xiaoming, unsure what got into his wife, scanned her from top to bottom, "If you really drink too much, do you think I can carry you home?"
Bai Tian said loudly nearby, "It’s okay dad, if you can’t carry her, I’ll help you lift. Big brother can also help us lift, you carry mom’s head, big brother and I will carry one leg each. We should definitely be able to carry mom back."
As the child finished, everyone at the table burst into laughter.
Sister-in-law Song, who originally thought she was only slightly overweight: "..."
Well, even if this home isn’t returned to, it doesn’t matter.
The lively birthday and welcome party continued for over two hours, and it might have gone even later if not for considering the canteen staff on duty.
Everyone drank quite a bit, especially Zhang Dawei, whose speech was slurred, being supported back to the dorm by Li Wei and Wu Zhenfa on each side.
Zhang Dawei still refused to leave, waving his arms, "No, I haven’t had enough drinks with sister-in-law. It’s rare for sister-in-law to come, we must make her satisfied."
Li Wei grabbed his hand, "Your sister-in-law is already very satisfied, let’s go, if we don’t leave now, there will definitely be dissatisfaction."
This young couple finally reunited; the pleasures of spring are short, who would want to waste their time here.
This guy, when drunk, just kept rambling to Mrs. Qin, almost causing Mr. Qin to kill him with his glare, yet the fool was too drunk to notice.
Sister-in-law Song said to Lin Chuxia, "Mr. Qin knows where we live, it’s easy to find. When you have time, come visit, I am mostly idling at home."
"Sure," Lin Chuxia responded with a smile.
After everyone left, Lin Chuxia looked at Qin Yang, noticing his cheeks were slightly flushed, clearly having drunk a bit too much.
"Are you okay? Should I ask the canteen chef to make you a bowl of soup to sober up?"
Qin Yang shook his head, "No need, I didn’t drink much, just happy."
Happy that she came to see him, to celebrate his birthday with him, to give him such a big surprise.
Also happy that she handled his colleagues so well, earning him plenty of face.
Although he didn’t mind much about it, seeing Wu Zhenfa constantly inquiring how to get more marriage leave days for him, and hearing Zhang Dawei several times mentioning finding a wife, envious that he had married well, his male pride was greatly satisfied.
Seeing him say so, Lin Chuxia didn’t linger any longer, the two greeted the canteen staff, then headed back.
