Chapter Eighty-Six: A Toast
"(Hmong) the time has come, ready to toast. ”
"Mrs. Assi" gave the order, and the crowd around the three of them retreated like a tide, and walked to her side and lined up.
Min Axichong, who was still standing in place, waved to He Zhou and Tian Mimi, and motioned for the two of them to come over.
"Come on, get ready to toast. ”
Then, he pointed to Xiong Maomao next to the two of them.
"Sister Translator, we're a bad person. I'll leave the translator to me, and you can come and make up the numbers. ”
Tian Mimi looked at the crowd lined up not far away, and asked curiously, "Toast?
Xiong Maomao, who was fairly familiar with Bai Miao's customs, replied uncertainly, "Probably to wish the newcomers a good fortune?"
"If a newlyweds get engaged or married, the elders in the village will gather to send blessings to the newlyweds, a blessing word, and a bowl of wine. ”
"The demand is non-stop, the words are non-stop, and the wine is non-stop. ”
Xiong Maomao gently patted Tian Mimi's shoulder, and his tone was quite pitiful.
"Cousin, the people who came today are very sharp-tongued, and you two are asking for a lot of blessings. ”
After saying that, a puff of smoke joined the opposite team.
Tian Mimi, who felt that she had a lot of alcohol, did not take Xiong Maomao's words to heart, but was ashamed to speak.
"He Zhou and you can rest assured, my wine is very good, and today's wine is on me. ”
As soon as these words came out, He Zhou, who had seen her drunken madness, smiled awkwardly and politely.
Suddenly, Min Axi's palms faced each other and he patted three times.
Bang Bang Bang ......
With Min Axi's crisp high-five, four Bai Miao women, who were neatly dressed and had smooth hair, quickly moved out the shelves, wine barrels, wine bowls and other items that had been prepared in the storeroom, and placed them firmly in the hands of "Mrs. Axi".
I saw the half-human-tall wine barrel next to Mrs. Assi, and the stoneware wine bowl full of a large basket on the side of the barrel.
Tian Mimi sighed in her heart, panicked.
Can't I take back what I just said?
Such a big keg?
Even if it's full of water, you can't drink it!
For a while, Tian Mimi felt that she had a huge responsibility and a difficult road ahead.
The crooked smile brought three points of desolation and seven points of tragedy.
The hand that had been holding He Zhouhe also followed her emotions and sweated a lot unconsciously.
Feeling the hot and moist touch transmitted from his wrist, He Zhouhe, who was about to step forward, smiled shyly at her and whispered, "Don't be afraid, leave it to me when you drink, I've never been drunk when I drank." ”
He Zhouhe's voice was weak, but full of confidence, which was very convincing.
Tian Mimi really wanted to give him that big barrel of wine as he said.
But considering the mysterious Gu poison on his body, I don't know if it will be triggered by alcohol.
Tian Mimi, who was afraid of being choked by Mr. Murphy's throat, did not dare to risk other people's lives.
She could only make a bitter face and stubbornly say, "I like to drink the most, it's rare to have a good drink today, don't rob me." ”
He Zhou paused for a moment and smiled.
"You drink it, I will never rob it. ”
"What are you two talking about? Everyone is waiting for a toast!"
Min Axi, who is a junior, urged repeatedly.
Tian Mimi, who was in a heavy mood, reluctantly pulled He Zhou and walked to her.
"Okay, now let's start toasting. ”
Min Axi scooped out a bowl of wine from the barrel and handed it to Grandma Min, who was at the front of the line.
Grandma Min took the wine, tears flashing in the corners of her eyes.
"(Miao language) I wish the cat cubs peace and health, and everything goes well. ”
"Thank you, auntie. ”
Although she still has to rely on a translator to understand her aunt's words, she can feel her care and love without words.
He Zhou and the wine given by his aunt were in a surging mood, and they were about to drink it all.
Suddenly, Tian Mimi stretched out her hands to cover the wine bowl, her eyes widened like a calf.
"Okay, don't rob me. ”
He Zhouhe held the wine and calmly explained, "This bowl of wine was given by my aunt." ”
Tian Mimi's position is very firm.
"Manly man, what you say counts!"
He Zhouhe patiently persuaded her, "I'll drink this bowl." ”
Tian Mimi picked up the wine bowl with all her might, and the green tendons were about to get up.
"Not a single bowl, I said the wine is all mine. ”
The two were at a stalemate, and Min Axi, who had already scooped up the second bowl of wine, was a little impatient.
"What are you two inking on, there are so many elders waiting in the back!"
He Zhouhe turned his head and replied apologetically to the respected "Mrs. Axi".
"Wait a minute, and you'll be fine. ”
Taking advantage of He Zhou's distraction to return to "Mrs. Axi", Tian Mimi hurriedly lowered her head, buried her whole face in the bowl and sipped wine, sizzling.
He Zhouhe turned around when he heard the sound, only to see a small ostrich in human form buried in his palm.
was so shocked that his eyes widened.
"Tian Mimi, you!"
The little ostrich looked up and smiled sweetly at him.
"Blessed wine, blessed wine, you receive blessings, I receive wine. ”
After speaking, he pushed the dry wine bowl into his arms.
"Don't be stupid, there are still so many elders waiting, let's continue. ”
The words of blessing were spoken one by one, and the sweet wine was drunk bowl by bowl.
Tian Mimi, she can drink, she can drink, but she has never drunk so much wine.
Her eyes were double with drunkenness, her tongue was knotted, and her whole person was dizzy, and she couldn't tell the difference between southeast and northwest.
She continued to drink.
Cheer yourself up while drinking.
Come on, Tian Mimi, victory is ahead.
Saving a person's life is better than seven bodhisattvas.
After drinking the last bowl, you are the seven bodhisattvas.
You don't have to take a gourd baby with you when you go to Florusa.
Hulu baby, Hulu baby, the young hero is him.
Tian Mimi's brain has already been drunk, and what supports her to continue drinking is her strong willpower and her respect for life.
Finally, the line for a toast has ended.
Tian Mimi saw that there was no one in front of her, her heart was relieved, and a strong tiredness struck.
At this time, Min Axi, who had been scooping wine out of the barrel, stepped forward with a bowl of wine.
"In the last bowl, Mrs. Assi, the highest-ranking lady, will bless you, and I wish you more and more drinks, and a long relationship. ”
Tian Mimi held her eyelids and took Min Axi's wine.
"Thank you, madame. ”
Before the words fell, with a bang, she fell directly on Min Axi.
Min Axi held on to this great-great-granddaughter-in-law, who was one round older than her, and beckoned her great-great-grandson to come forward to help.
"What are you doing standing stupidly, kitten, your daughter-in-law doesn't hug you?"
He Zhouhe, who didn't react for a while, heard the call of "Mrs. Axi", and hurriedly stepped forward to hold Tian Mimi in his arms.
Tian Mimi had already fallen asleep, breathing evenly and powerfully, and her face was red like an apple that often basks in the sun.
While sleeping, she restlessly rolled in He Zhouhe's arms, trying to find the most comfortable position to sleep.
