Chapter 16 Oath
After Wu Xiaoqi finished work, he took another shower before running to Uncle Wu's house.
"You're here." Uncle Wu seemed to have expected him to come, and he said lightly without stopping his work.
"Uncle, I... Sister Ping wants to invite you to have a meal." Wu Xiaoqi said my sister, but he thought about it again that he had grown up and could hide anything from him.
"You can eat rice at will, but you can't do many things at will." Uncle Wu didn't raise his head, but just said this casually, as if he was not telling Wu Xiaoqi.
"Uncle, Sister Ping is a good person." Wu Xiaoqi didn't understand that Uncle Wu was blaming himself and blaming himself for causing trouble.
"Hmph, good person?" Uncle Wu sneered when he heard this. He stopped the busy work in his hands, stared at Wu Xiaoqi, and said, "If she were a good person, she would not have implicated a child who was still a minor in such a dangerous situation and occasion."
Uncle Wu is not Wu Xiaoqi. He knows the seriousness of the matter. If he is not a village chief and does not help prove it in front of the traitor, they would be very sad last night. The Japanese occupied the provincial capital for more than a year and had to become the village chief for the sake of the whole family's livelihood. He has seen many scenes that Wu Xiaoqi and other neighbors have never seen before, and also knows many things that Wu Xiaoqi and other neighbors have never heard of.
As Wu Xiaoqi's actual guardian, although Uncle Wu is a distant relative, he has been taking care of him since Wu Xiaoqi's parents passed away one after another. Otherwise, this heartless young man could live in the provincial capital safely? Although he did not bring Wu Xiaoqi to his home, Uncle Wu has always treated him as his own child. Now this kid is so confused that he has been with the people from the Iron Blood Anti-Traitor Group, how can he not be angry? When he saw it last night, he was extremely surprised at first, but he was angry after all, but he suppressed his anger and helped them pass by it perfunctorily.
After he came back, he couldn't fall asleep all night. Once such a thing was exposed, Xiao Qizi would not escape and die, and he would suffer as well. If he didn't do it, the whole family would be in trouble. The relationship between this is not something that the young man in front of him could afford. This is also the reason why he was afraid, and it is also the reason why he was angry with Wu Xiaoqi today.
"Uncle, I'm really a good person. If you don't believe me, go to the neighbors and villagers to inquire." Wu Xiaoqi definitely wouldn't have as much as Uncle Wu. When he heard him scolding Sister Ping, he became rebellious and wanted to refute it. But when he thought that he was caring about him, he could endure his temperament and explain it kindly.
"It's really sad to blind your eyes with a little bit of embrace." Uncle Wu sighed and continued, "Since she wants to see me, I'll go and meet her. I want to see what this woman sells in the gourd."
Uncle Wu walked out while saying that, but he didn't clean up the busy work he had just done, and didn't say hello to his family.
When she arrived at Sister Ping's residence, she had prepared a table of food and a jar of wine on the table. It was impossible for ordinary people to have such food these days, and it was not as good as the New Year.
Wu Xiaoqi had never seen so many delicious foods, and his eyes were shining, but he almost had no outlet water.
Uncle Wu just looked at her coldly without saying a word. Even Jiang Ping greeted him and only hummed. It was for Xiaoqi's sake. Otherwise, let alone responding to her, she might have started to insult her as soon as she entered the door.
"Uncle Wu, I toast you for this glass of wine. Thank you for your kind help last night." Jiang Ping knew from Uncle Wu that he had a lot of resentment towards him as soon as he entered the door, so she kept smiling and greeting him carefully. She could see that this honest but smart middle-aged man cared and valued Wu Xiaoqi very much, otherwise he would not have taken such a big risk last night to testify for himself. Since he was a good person to Xiaoqi and helped him, his temper and anger would of course be all his followers.
Uncle Wu is not an unreasonable person. He kept shaking his face, just because the woman in front of him pulled Xiaoqi and himself into the water. But in fact, he still respected the people from the Iron Blood Anti-Trait Group in private. He dared to pull teeth from his mouth, which was not something that could be done with a little courage. This woman obviously knew that she was angry, but she didn't mind at all. Instead, she was polite and respectful, which made it difficult for him to put her face down. Besides, she hadn't drunk some days, so she picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in one go.
Uncle Wu is generous and Jiang Ping is as good as a man, and she also drank the wine bowl in her hand in one go.
This shocked Wu Xiaoqi. He didn't even notice that the braised pork on the chopsticks fell on the table. He had secretly drank the old man's wine and also secretly drank Uncle Wu's wine. The feeling of inferior white wine entering his throat was something he could not forget. Not to mention a bowl, he couldn't even drink a sip. Now he suddenly saw two people who drank wine as water, so he was surprised.
"Uncle Wu, I will toast you another bowl of wine. This cup of wine is apologizing to you because the little woman has implicated you." Jiang Ping's face turned a little red. This was the effect of alcohol. Her originally beautiful face looked more and more beautiful because of these blushings. After getting up and filling Uncle Wu's wine bowl, she poured a full bowl for herself.
Uncle Wu turned his head and snorted coldly, but did not pick up the wine bowl. It was obvious that the anger in his heart was not gone.
Jiang Ping didn't care whether Uncle Wu had drunk this bowl of wine, and she did the wine in her hand on her own.
It is not difficult for Uncle Wu to have two bowls of white wine in a row, but it is not that easy for a weak and beautiful woman. This temperament alone makes Uncle Wu look at her differently, let alone he already knows that she is from the Iron Blood Anti-Trait Group.
In the surprise of Wu Xiaoqi and Uncle Wu, Jiang Ping poured her wine bowl again and served it up again.
"Uncle Wu, I toast you the third bowl of wine. I want to give you a testimony to this bowl of wine." Jiang Ping held up the wine bowl and drank it slowly. After drinking two bowls of wine, she was really struggling. She seemed to have a fire burning in her belly, her body began to heat up, and her face became even hotter. However, she was not drunk, but she became more sober.
"Testimation?" Uncle Wu was confused. He thought the woman in front of him was talking about drinking.
"Yes, Uncle Wu, you are Xiaoqi's elder. I want to ask you to testify. Today, Jiang Ping and Wu Fei officially become siblings." Jiang Ping's blushing face was filled with a happy smile. She said: "Please rest assured. From now on, Jiang Ping will be Xiaoqi's own sister. I swear that I will use all my own to care for him. Even if I sacrifice my life, I will not let Xiaoqi suffer a little more!" As she said, she walked to the door, knelt on both knees, and held up three fingers: "God is to prove that if I violate this oath, I will hit the sky with thunder and will not die well!"
Wu Xiaoqi's tears fell, he rushed over, hugged Jiang Ping, who was kneeling on the ground, and shouted emotionally: "Sister! Sister! Sister!"
Uncle Wu's eyes were also wet and he smiled. What else could he worry about in this scene in front of him?
Uncle Wu didn't say anything to Jiang Ping, nor did he give Wu Xiaoqi anything. He just picked up the wine bowl and drank the full bowl of wine. What else can be more enjoyable than drinking at this moment!
