High School Friends
Liu Xinjue hailed from the quaint village of Dongmen, residing in close proximity to his fellow villager, Liu Hongyuan. In the intricate tapestry of Dongmen Village, Liu Xinjue's name shone with a resplendent fame. But what exactly set him apart from the rest? The answer lay in his unyielding devotion to the art of inebriation, where every meal, be it breakfast, lunch, or dinner, was incomplete without the accompaniment of his beloved elixir, wine.
A seasoned member of his family, Liu Xinjue, now well into his sixties, held the distinguished title of the third eldest. Among the middle-aged denizens of the village, he was affectionately known as "Sanshu," while the younger generation fondly referred to him as "Sanye."
As the banquet unfolded, Liu Xinjue, like his compatriots, settled into his seat, anticipation dancing in his eyes as they fell upon a tantalizing bottle of wine gracing the table before him.
