Chapter 922: Drinking Equally
Hu Mingchen is also an emotional person, he was just pushed to swallow the business of Liangzhuang in Jiangjiazhai, and now he hasn't arrived home yet, Hu Mingyong jumped out to give him a problem, Hu Mingchen is so cool.
Besides, just like Hu Mingchen himself said, if you can't even get a driver's license, then what hope can you have? If you don't learn the traffic rules well, driving on the road is equivalent to walking on the edge of a cliff, and danger will happen anytime and anywhere.
So on this issue, Hu Mingchen will not help Hu Mingyong to open the back door for the relationship.
"Xiao Chen...... Then I'll ...... It's really hard to get a driver's license. Hu Mingyong said with a bitter face and a frown.
"Brother, if that's the case, I suggest you dispel the idea of driving, which means that you are not suitable for driving. Hu Mingchen said very unpleasantly, "You are looking for me to do this? If this is the only thing, I really can't help it." ”
After Hu Mingchen finished speaking, he stood up and made a gesture to leave.
"Xiao Chen, wait, wait......" Hu Mingyong hurriedly stopped Hu Mingchen.
"What's wrong? What's the matter?" Hu Mingchen looked at Hu Mingyong and asked.
"Then I'm not fit to drive, you...... You give me only one way, I don't want to be at home anymore. I do things at home all day long, and I don't have much money, so you help me with a way to go out and earn some money. Hu Mingyong plucked up his courage and said.
"But the question is, what can you do?" asked Hu Mingchen with his hands outstretched.
"You see what I can do, and I arrange what I can do. ”
Hu Mingchen really wanted to say, brother, I don't think you can do anything. What can you do, you yourself will not be clear?
"Brother, I really don't know what you can do, you don't have culture, and you don't have technology...... Hey, you're really embarrassing me. Hu Mingchen said helplessly.
"I have the skills, I can build walls, at home, I just follow others to build walls and build houses, and I can also farm. Hu Mingyong said unashamedly.
Hu Mingchen almost dripped, sweat on his forehead, building walls, farming? Don't talk about this kind of skill, it's a shame to say it.
However, Hu Mingyong is such a "real" person, and he is indeed telling the truth.
"Brother, you don't have these skills very well when you go out, unless you go to work on the construction site, so let's go back and think about it, see what you can do, what you want to do, you think about these two issues clearly, let's discuss it again, okay? It's a good thing that you want to go out and do things, but you can't be blind." If you really can't, you can continue to take the driver's license test, and I will help you pay the fee. Hu Mingchen said patiently.
Hu Mingchen sent Hu Mingyong away, and when he returned home, Hu Jianqiang sat in the living room and chatted with Hu Jianjun and Jiang Yucai, and they were talking about the specific details of going to Zhou Yuxian's house to plant incense.
When Hu Mingchen came back from outside, he naturally had to join in.
On the eighth day of the first lunar month, under the leadership of Hu Jianqiang, a group of people slaughtered and planted incense at Zhou Yuxian's house.
This time, I went to the incense planting, the elders, the juniors, plus Hu Mingchen, the junior, went to more than a dozen people, and the president went to four off-road vehicles and a pickup truck, and all kinds of items prepared according to customs filled the body of the pickup truck.
The path to Zhou Yuxian's house is still that kind of dirt road, so the car is not very suitable.
Knowing that Zhou Yuxian was married to a big boss, all the relatives over there basically came, and a basket of firewood and a basket of coal was burned in the yard, and five or six tables were set up for the eight immortals for dinner, which felt similar to a wedding wine.
As soon as Hu Mingchen's convoy arrived, a large group of people poured up, and the old and young masters began to laugh curiously and comment on them, of course, the important thing to comment on was the cars and the dazzling items from the cars.
Hu Mingchen wanted to carry a pork leg, but Zhou Yuxian saw it, and she quickly called her cousin to help and vacated Hu Mingchen's hand.
When Hu Mingchen was able to come, Zhou Yuxian felt that he was full of brilliance, and if he was asked to take the heavy things himself, Zhou Yuxian would not be able to look at it.
"Third aunt, what I can take, all of us have divided the task, so I have to get some. Hu Mingchen changed his name to Zhou Yuxian.
"It's okay, it's okay, he'll take it, just give it to my cousin, come, go over there and sit and drink tea, and eat in a while." Zhou Yuxian, who was dressed in a dress, tried his best to stop him.
"Third aunt, what's going on?
"Are there any rules, how can anyone send a complete family to talk about his daughter-in-law?"
"Oh, this family is a bit of a bully, I think it's great to be rich, this is simply looking down on the Zhou family, this jade immortal will marry in the future, I'm afraid there will be no good life." ”
......
The third aunt shouted by Hu Mingchen made Zhou Yuxian's relatives hear it, so all kinds of negative comments came out.
Hu Mingchen heard those voices of discussion, so Hu Mingchen was a little embarrassed.
When he came by himself, it was Zhou Yuxian who agreed, and thought that their side had been settled, but who knows, it still caused misunderstanding and trouble.
But after all, he broke the rules, so no matter what those people said, Hu Mingchen could only pretend not to hear.
After placing the incense gifts one by one under the shrine of Zhou Yuxian's house, the stewards and matchmakers of both sides began to hand over, including the hundreds of thousands of cash prepared, and they should also be clear, anyway, after the handover, these things will all belong to Zhou Yuxian's family.
There will be a ceremony later, but that will be after eating and drinking.
Looking at all the things that were filled with several large dustpans, especially the one with separate money, attracted the attention of those relatives.
In their village, there has never been a girl with such a strong family affair, two sets of clothes, three gold jewelry, a diamond ring, two bags of rice, twelve handfuls of noodles, four pork legs with tails, one bag of peanuts and apples, one basket of dates, 168,888 in cash, two cigarettes, eight glutinous rice cakes, eight bottles of liquor, two pairs of leather shoes, a number of wax paper candles, and an additional set of clothes for each of Zhou Yuxian's parents...... Not only are there many things, but the key is that they are all high-quality goods, and all items are tied up with red paper.
After counting the items and drinking two cups of tea, the housekeeper of the woman's family arranged for a meal.
This tour of the meal is not only Hu Mingchen and his relatives who came to plant incense, but the woman's family will arrange relatively equal relatives to sit and accompany them, not only to accompany them to eat, but also to accompany them to drink.
This is also a custom, which is equivalent to currying favor with the man's family for Zhou Yuxian, if he can't eat and drink well with him, it means that he is unhappy, and Zhou Yuxian may suffer hardships and be looked down upon when he marries.
Of course, this also has another meaning, that is, today's matter is a success, each other is relatives, since they are relatives, there must be an occasion to know each other and deepen the relationship and understanding, and to eat a meal and drink a wine with each other is the best way.
It's just that there is a trouble here, and that is Hu Mingchen.
Because Hu Mingchen is a junior, since he wants to be equal, there must also be a junior to accompany and greet Hu Mingchen. It is impossible to arrange for one or even two generations to come.
The reason why incense is not arranged for younger generations is also related to this. Because the common sense of the newlyweds who get married will not be very old themselves, and some of them are only eighteen, nineteen or twenty years old when they get married early. The younger generation may only be a few years old, and such a doll can't drink alcohol.
As soon as Hu Mingchen sat down, before he picked up the chopsticks, a teenage and a half-old doll sat with him.
"Kid, haven't you eaten yet? Come, the chopsticks are here, pick up and eat together." Hu Mingchen was stunned for a moment, seeing that the other party was not very old, he took care of him and greeted him in turn.
"What a child, you are a junior, and so am I, I am your brother. Whether you drink baogu wine or rice wine, let's start with a bowl. The little boy glanced at Hu Mingchen stunned, and said in a tone like an adult.
"What? A bowl first? You're so small, can you drink wine?" Hu Mingchen said in surprise.
"Hahaha, Xiao Chen, you don't want to drink yet, it seems that you can't hide from it, people are so small that they do it by the bowl, if you can't fix it, we will have no face here." Hu Jianxin, the second father over there in Sanjiazhai, sat next to Hu Mingchen, and immediately joked with a smile.
"Second father, it's not that I can't drink him, it's that he's too young, I'm afraid that he will hurt by drinking, even if I win him, it's dishonorable, and people will say that I'm a big bully. Hu Mingchen said.
"You two are of the same generation, there is no question of big or small, don't look at his age, when it comes to drinking, you really don't have to get him to him, this kid, he started drinking at the age of three. A cousin from Zhou Yuxian's family said with a smile.
Hu Mingchen was laughed and teased by a table of people, and it was difficult to ride a tiger, and at this moment, the little baby had already poured the bowl in front of the two of them with yellowed corn wine.
In the countryside, whether it is a happy event or a funeral, they will not use bottled wine, on the one hand, which cost is large, and on the other hand, they don't like it, but feel that the grain wine they brew is delicious.
This kind of grain wine brewed by the local method is not high, it looks like more than 30 degrees, and it tastes very good, but it is also very serious when drunk, and once drunk, it will be very high.
"Come, relative, let's talk about it, do you dare to do it?" After the little baby arrived at the wine, he took the lead in picking up the bowl and facing Hu Mingchen.
At this time, no matter whether Hu Mingchen can drink it or not, whether he dares to drink it or not, he can only pick up the wine bowl, otherwise, he will lose face.
Hu Mingchen felt that even if this little guy started drinking at the age of three, the amount of alcohol would not be very good, and he couldn't even beat him.
Who knows, after people pushed the bowl and touched Hu Mingchen, as soon as they raised their heads, the corn wine of about one or two was swallowed.
Hu Mingchen rolled his eyes, and he could only drink the wine in the bowl.
"Eat something, eat something, this wine, you can't drink it in a hurry, you have to take it slowly, otherwise you will get drunk easily." Hu Jianxin hurriedly suggested Hu Mingchen.
As soon as everyone's dishes and chopsticks moved, the atmosphere began to be warm, and several tables were filled with the sound of eating and clinking dishes and drinking.
The little guy sitting next to Hu Mingchen drank really well, and he didn't have a lot of effort, so he made three bowls with Hu Mingchen, and he was fine, but Hu Mingchen was a little dizzy.
