“Ol Fan, why do I feel like you’ve been getting more and more energetic lately?”

In City J’s government family company’s courtyard, two old men were playing chess on a stone table. Two old men sat next to them.

The two old men looked to be in their sixties or seventies. Their hair was a little gray. One of them was wearing a navy blue mandarin jacket, while the other was wearing a dark red tang suit with golden edges. Both of them looked very energetic.

The one who asked the question was Elder Ding in the navy blue mandarin jacket. Elder Su immediately added, “Yes, Ol Fan. In the past, you and your wife would start complaining about tiredness after dancing in the square a few times. But you two have danced for an hour, and you don’t even lack a breath.”

Elder He added, “Have you noticed that Ol Fan appeared to have become younger than before? His face is glowing red.

“Ol Fan, tell me. What kind of magical pill you and your wife have been taking? Why don’t you share it with the rest of us?” Of course, he was only joking about the magical pill. The elders were indifferent to death, but who wouldn’t want to live longer?

Therefore, many elders would fork out money to buy health products. They would sometimes spend all of their money on some pills claimed to be able to cure all illnesses. There were many such cases on the news.

The elders were not as crazy as those people, but they still bought a lot of health care products. As for the effects…

Now that they saw Ol Fan and his wife getting younger, they couldn’t help but ask.

Ol Fan said with a smile. “There’s no magical pill. My son has sent back two jars of fruit wine from City Z. The wife and I drink a small cup every night. It helps with sleeping, and we’d feel refreshed the next day.”

“What kind of health wine?” Elder Ding asked with a smile. “We’ve drunk all kinds of health wine before, but we haven’t seen an effect as good as yours.”

Elder Fan thought about it and said, “Wait here!” He abandoned the match and left.

“Hey, Ol Fan, we’re still in the middle of chess. Where are you going? Plus, weren’t we discussing the wine?” Elder Su called out to Elder Fan.

Elder Fan waved his hand and said, “I’m going home. I’ll be back soon. Wait for me. Also, I haven’t finished playing that game yet. Wait for me to come back.”

The three elders asked suspiciously, “What do you think Ol Fan is up to?”

“Do you think…”

They shared a look and agreed on the reason. After waiting for a while, Ol Fan reappeared.

As they guessed, Ol Fan went home and brought the wine over.

“Old Man, bring the wine back!” Ol Fan was followed by an old lady who was yelling at Ol Fan.

Ol Fan said, “I’m going to bring the wine over for those old coots to taste. I’ll make them jealous.” These elders still liked to show off.

When Madam Fan heard this, she was so angry that she stomped her feet. She said loudly, “There’s not much wine in two jars, to begin with. If you let them taste it, how much will we have left? Old man, bring it back, or else…”

However, by then, Ol Fan had already reached the group of elders. Madam Fan was speechless. To preserve her husband’s face, she stopped threatening him. However, her eyes were fixed on the wine jar in Ol Fan’s hand.

“I say, sister, we’ll only have a small taste. Why are you so nervous?” Elder Ding said with a smile.

Madam Fan replied with a fake smile, “Ol Ding, you might not know this, but we don’t have much wine left. I’m afraid that the old man will waste it.”

Elder He’s eyes flashed. This wine had to be something old, or else their sister Fan wouldn’t guard this so tightly. Normally, she was very concerned about Ol’ Fan’s face, but today she was yelling at him on the street.

When Ol’ Fan heard his wife, he immediately said indignantly, “How would I waste it? I’m just going to give these old fellows some wine to taste.”

Madam Fan nodded. “Fine. Give me the jar, and I’ll serve them.” She predicted that the jar would go missing once the old fellows tasted the wine, so it was safer for her to keep it.

Ol Fan held the jar and said, “It’s alright. We can do it ourselves.” Then, he poured a cup… I mean, half a cup for each of his friends. He was going to pour a full cup, but his wife said, “Since they’re only going to taste, half a cup is enough.” Then, she glared at Ol Fan.

Being threatened, Ol Fan could only oblige.

The three elders, “…” Staring at the half cup of fruit wine, the three of them thought in unison, ‘This is too stingy.’

Plus, they were not even using normal cups but tea cups. Half a teacup was barely a mouthful!

“Hmm. It smells so good!” Elder Ding sniffed at the wine.

“Yes!” The others echoed.

Ol Fan held the wine jar and said proudly, “This wine smells good, right? Let me tell you. This wine tastes even better. All of you, try it!”

Madam Fan saw that her husband was still holding the wine jar. She was anxious. She directly snatched the wine jar and said with a smile, “Since everyone has had a taste, I’ll bring this back now!” Then, without waiting for these people to react, she directly carried the wine jar and quickly left.

The three elders, “…” This woman is too stingy. Isn’t this just normal health wine? What’s so great about it?

However, when they lifted their cup and tasted the wine, their opinion changed.

“This wine is so fragrant and delicious. Don’t you feel that once you drink it, your chest will feel like it has opened up?” Elder He said.

“Indeed. I also have the same feeling!” The others agreed.

Then, the three of them faced Elder Fan. “Ol Fan, you’re too unkind. How can you hide such a good thing from us? This is a good wine. You should share it with your friends.”

“Exactly. No wonder you look energetic and flushed every day.”

“Ol Fan, where did you get this health wine? Can you get me two jars to try? Didn’t you say that if you drink this wine, you’ll sleep well at night? Recently, I’ve been suffering from insomnia.”

“Ol Ding, why are you suffering from insomnia? Are you overthinking things?” Elder He joked.

“I’m getting old. Isn’t it normal to have insomnia?”

…

“No, we have no more. Hurry up and leave!” The roars came from Ol Fan’s house. These days, there had been constant shouting from his house.

Ol Ding, Ol Su, and Ol He had mastered a very thick skin.

“Ol Fan, we just want to drink with you. Do you need to be so stingy?” Ol Ding smiled. “You can always ask Little Fan to buy more for you. Oh, right. Can you ask him to buy some for us too?”

Ol Fan was so angry that he stomped his feet. He pointed at the three old men and said loudly, “How am I stingy? Ever since I gave you a taste of this wine, you thick-skinned people have been coming to my house to report every day. You’ve drunk so much that my house has less than half a jar left. You have no idea how mad my wife is!”

Ol Fan was a little regretful in his heart.

If he had known that these old fellows were so difficult to deal with, he wouldn’t have given them the wine to taste.

Now, after being harassed by them, Ol Fan only had half a jar of wine left. His wife was so angry with him that she didn’t want to speak to him anymore.

“Furthermore, do you think this wine is easy to find? If it is, wouldn’t I have asked my son to buy more a long time ago?” Ol Fan said angrily, “My son said he is having a hard time buying them too. So if you want to drink the wine, have your children buy them for you!”

“But we don’t even know where you can buy the wine!”

“Go and have your children ask around!”
