Time is the best doctor, and time can make people forgetful.

Thirty years is enough time for Li Jiaming to forget many things, politely and thoughtfully ask the elders to be in good condition, finish pouring wine, and beat his grandmother's legs, and go to the kitchen to help his aunt stir-fry.

The nephew is the heart of the grandfather and grandmother, and he is also the half cub of the maternal uncle and the aunt, not to mention that the nephew is still so smart and conscientious, from the bee candy that the aunt used as a prescription to the pastries that the grandmother eats are constantly sent every day. The aunt who was busy with her work and the cousin who gave the red fish to her cousin didn't let Li Jiaming, who wanted to help, touch her hands, and only let him sit by the stove to help light the fire, and the fiery red flames reflected his face.

"Auntie, grandma is not the whole life, why are the sixth cousins and nephews in my aunt's house?"

"Oh, the sixth cousin came to see off his aunt and grandma, if he didn't send a foot with the soldiers, wouldn't he take the shuttle?"

This is not right, but after all, the time is 'too long', Li Jiaming thought carefully for a while, but he still didn't remember who the familiar postnatal was, but seeing Sister Hong like this, he said tentatively: "Uncle, he didn't come to matchmaking, right?"

It is not a shy thing for men to marry and women to marry in the countryside, and the aunt who was stir-frying smiled and said: "As far as you are a ghost (smart), the sixth cousin wants to tell his nephew who is his cousin (not out of three suits)." (In the countryside, when it comes to matchmaking, it is common to find elders to play the front station first, and then find a matchmaker.) ）

"Mommy!"

The shy cousin blushed and was shy, but the aunt smiled and said, "What's so embarrassing about this? Do you still want to go to work? Honghong, you will be twenty years old after the New Year, and it is time to talk about people (betrothed)! Now your brother and sister-in-law can earn more than 1,000 yuan a month, and yes yes (dad) can earn more than 30 yuan a day by selling R in the township, and the house doesn't want you to go out to work to earn money and buy a dowry. ”

No wonder that young man is so familiar, only that time has passed, and the person's appearance and temperament have changed too much, but his eyebrows and eyes cannot be changed! Li Jiaming was so excited that he finally remembered that his cousin had 'married' this drunkard husband and had suffered in his in-law's house for half his life, and later his nephew had to study, get married, and build a house, and she had to come to him to borrow money.

No, I have to stir up trouble for my cousin in this matter! Sister Hong is not the eldest sister, and no matter how unhappy she is, she doesn't dare to fight with her uncle. No, it should be her willingness, and this matter has to be messed up!

The countryside is not a city, and there are double workers, rural men have to support their families and make money to support their families, if men are not angry, their wives and children can only suffer and suffer. So in the countryside, there are three kinds of men who can't marry - S, gambling, and alcohol, as long as these three words are touched, there is nothing good in the family!

The young man outside, the first two words are not touched, he is a duty, he is good to his relatives, and his relationship with his cousin is also good, but he is a drunkard, as long as he has alcohol to drink, he will not worry about anything. Marrying a man and marrying a man, dressing and eating, such a drunken and unmotivated person, isn't it a sin to marry a gentle cousin?

After waiting for a while, waiting for his cousin to serve the food out, Li Jiaming said mysteriously: "Uncle, I think that Shiquan is not good-looking." ”

Uncle's aunt immediately stopped the spatula in her hand, her nephew is a little genius, and everyone in the village said that he was the reincarnation of Wenqu Xing, and he used to have no skin that was not awake Su Zhi (the wisdom of the previous life). During the summer vacation last year, my nephew fell and woke up Su Zhi, so he was completely different from an ordinary guy and became a real Wenqu star! Tsk, if you can win two firsts in the county, it will not be safe to take the university entrance examination in the future? Not to mention, my nephew will still make money, and the three-story brick houses on the street can be made into three buildings and three shops!

Thinking of his nephew's genius, his aunt, who was still laughing just now, became serious and whispered: "Mingya, this matter is not a joke, do you really think so? Shi is very good in the whole house, the two brothers have made two brick houses, and he Ye Ye (father) is still the secretary of Guantian Village." ”

This is for sure, with my cousin's talent, if my family background is not good, my sixth cousin will not dare to go to the door to talk about matchmaking. But what Li Jiaming doesn't like the most is this kind of man, he doesn't rely on himself and his family, this kind of person can't help him when his parents are old, he is a useless waste!

It's just too much, many things just need to plant a seed, Li Jiaming smiled and said in a low voice: "Uncle, I also feel that Cousin Shiquan is not very good, and I always feel that he seems to be a good drinker." Auntie, don't listen to the sixth cousin, aunt and grandmother, don't they all talk about people? The house is good, and it is not good for a lifetime, or it is really good to be good yourself. ”

My aunt breathed a sigh of relief and continued to stir-fry, not caring and said, "What's this, how many men don't like to drink? Your uncle was still drunk at your house a few days ago, and he couldn't come back." ”

can be said to be so, Li Jiaming has been so good for more than a year, so good that after his aunt finished speaking, he began to hesitate in his heart. The young man outside has to have good looks, his family background is also very good, and his personality looks honest, but his nephew is so smart, he must be blessed by the Bodhisattva, and he shouldn't look away! Ming Yan is right, it's better to rely on people than on yourself, if you don't fight for yourself in the future, just rely on his father to have the ability, Honghong is a soft child, how can he get married?

Li Jiaming, who planted a seed, didn't say much, threw down the tongs and went outside to accompany his grandmother. When the old man is old, he is like a child, and he needs to be coaxed more.

"Uncle Eldest Mother, Uncle Third Mother, I specially left you a ...... of pork liver."

By the time Li Jiaming walked to the valley ping, his uncle, who was selling R in the township vegetable market, had already returned, and was giving his two uncles cigarettes and patting horses. There is an old saying in Chongxiang, 'Niece dog, eat and wag tail', nephew dog can be liked by uncle.

After his uncle finished filming his uncle's horse, the red-faced cousin came out and took a hanging of pork liver back to the kitchen, and Li Jiaming came over with a smile to help his uncle pour wine. This is the etiquette of the mountain people, the guests come not only to serve tea, fruit, but also to invite guests to drink, the more distinguished guests to invite people to drink two cups.

"The eldest maternal uncle, the third maternal uncle, the sixth old cousin, the wine poured by the family, you have to drink, this is the most competitive nephew of our You family!"

The grandfather who was sitting next to him also persuaded his uncle: "Big brother, third brother, Cheng Wan is right, you can drink a few more glasses of Jiaming's toast." When this guy becomes a big official in the future, you just can't drink it if you want to!"

The eldest uncle, who was not young, hurriedly covered the cup with his hand and excused himself: "Xuechong, you can't drink anymore, you can't drink anymore, the second sister is sixty-three this year, and I am sixty-five, do you still think it was forty years ago?"

People in the mountains have a habit of persuading guests to drink, and it is best to let them get drunk, which is a sign of hospitality and respect for guests. But the old man's wine really can't be persuaded more, Li Jiaming hurriedly laughed and said: "Eldest uncle, third uncle, I mean a little bit, I promise not to pour more." ”

"That's only a little bit, my uncle really can't drink more, you know?"

"Hmm", Li Jiaming gave the two uncles a cup of meaning, and the eldest uncle rubbed his head and praised him, "Second sister, what this nephew dog wants, is much stronger than Cheng Wan, you are blessed!"

The angry children and grandchildren always make the old people more proud and loved, not to mention that Li Jiaming is the only niece and grandson of Grandma, which makes her even more spoiled.

"Big brother, isn't your eyes red? Mingya, it seems that the eldest uncle is not drunk yet, add a little more to him. ”

"Second sister, are you my own sister?"

The elders laughed, and Li Jiaming also laughed with him, and he was not soft in pouring wine for his cousin and cousin.

"Sixth cousin, today is my grandma's birthday, my aunt and grandma don't drink, and my aunt and grandpa have something to do and didn't come, so of course you have to drink two more drinks for my aunt and grandma. Besides, the two uncles are here, and you shouldn't have two drinks with them when you're a junior?"

"That's it, sixth brother, my mother's uncle is here, are you embarrassed to be a niece's dog? I'm going to wait for something else, otherwise I'd have drunk with my mother's uncle." ”

The two nephews and uncles were attacked, and the sixth cousin had no choice but to drink the residual wine in the cup, and let Li Jiaming pour a cup, "Jiaming, my cousin can't drink anymore, and if he drinks again, he can't even eat!"

The cousin didn't want to drink it, so he didn't drink it, and Li Jiaming, who was smiling, took the bottle of special wine and changed the object of persuasion to a distant cousin next to him.

"Cousin Shiquan, let's not say more, right? Except for me, you are the youngest. I can't drink alcohol, and you can't drink either?"

Against a celebrity like Li Jiaming, Sun Shiquan, who followed his elders to go on a blind date, really didn't dare to hold it up, so he quickly stood up and drank the wine in front of him, and said with a red face: "Cousin Jiaming, you're polite." ”

You're welcome, as long as you drink two more glasses, Li Jiaming smiled and poured a full cup for this distant cousin who was not related by blood.

"Cousin, you have to have another drink, my uncle has to drink half of it, my cousin has a drink, you have to drink two glasses, that's reasonable. The elders are respectful, if you only drink one drink, isn't that the same generation as my cousin, and I am cheaper?"

Through the mouths of the girls and girls in middle school and primary school, Li Jiaming has become a legend in the township - benevolence, righteousness, friendship and respect are respected, and ruthless and awe-inspiring. Last month, Li Jiaming won the first place in the county's competition, which made him a mythical figure.

"Then thank you Cousin Jiaming!"

Sun Shiquan, who had just drunk a cup, was very happy, and happily drank this cup again, making Li Jiaming praise loudly: "It's still my cousin's arrogance, not like my sixth cousin, who can't even push back when I drink a glass of wine!"

After a cheer, Li Jiaming poured the wine for the guests, took the grandma's teacup again, touched it with Sun Shiquan's wine glass, and joked: "Cousin Shiquan, I just toasted on behalf of my maternal uncle." We just met today, and I can't drink alcohol, so I'll salute you with tea instead of wine. Come on, let's have a drink too!"

"This, this, then thank you Cousin Jiaming!"

"Heroic, cousin Shiquan, good things have to come in pairs!"

"Momo", Sun Shiquan, whose face was already flushed, had not completely drunk high, knowing that today's matter was important, he hurriedly covered his wine glass for fear that Li Jiaming would pour it again.

The wine glass in the countryside is not big, and one cup is only ** money, but Li Jiaming's grandfather and uncle each persuaded one round, plus the one just now, that is five glasses! The amount of alcohol in the southerners is not as good as that of the northerners. I really can't drink it, I can't drink it. ”

Seeing that the face of the latter was red, the kind-hearted grandmother hurriedly said: "Mingya, don't persuade me, I have to eat later." ”

"Oh", Grandma spoke, and Li Jiaming happily stopped.

I have the impression that this old brother bragged when he drank wine, this amount was just right, if he was really drunk, he would mess up Grandma's birthday.
