Chapter 37: Here Comes My Aunt (1)
"Sun Wa, don't look at me, eat some food first, drink a small half bowl of wine, eat some food and press, and then, grandpa has something to say!" Grandpa said when he saw that almost everyone at the table was looking at him.
Obedient and listening, father Tian Hezhuang listened to his grandfather's words, and felt that there was no blame in his grandfather's tone, and it seemed that his grandfather was not angry! So, his father Tian Limai said: "Mai'er, grandpa asked you to eat some vegetables, grandpa has something to say for you, you have to listen to grandpa's teachings!" As he spoke, his father also coerced a few vegetables into Tian Li's wheat bowl!
"Yes, Dad!" Tian Limai agreed, and ate the vegetables in the bowl in a big gulp.
Tian Limai felt that his head was a little dizzy, and he seemed to have a lot of words to tell people, however, the atmosphere on the table still seemed very solemn, except for his grandfather and father Tian Hezhuang who said a word, no one else spoke, and at this time, Tian Limai had a thousand words in his heart and no object for him to tell!
The alcohol began to work, and after Tian Limai finished eating a few bites of food, he couldn't control himself anymore, he stared at his grandfather and asked, "Grandpa, what do you say!?"
Grandpa smiled and said, "Sun Wa, was your head a little dizzy just now?"
Tian Limai seemed to feel that his grandfather was shaking, and he replied, "Grandpa-master, it's okay!" Tian Limai still felt that when he spoke, his tongue was a little disobedient!
"Okay, then I'll tell you," said Grandpa. Tian Limai felt that his grandfather's mouth was closed one by one, and he said very quickly, Tian Limai did not listen to what his grandfather said very consistently, but he still heard a general meaning, grandpa seemed to say, Sun Wa's ambition is high, determined, and he will be admitted to a key school to death, and he will be admitted to university in a few years, he is a good descendant of the Tian family, but the method of drinking blood wine and swearing is not good, and when the family eats the New Year's dinner, the atmosphere is solemn, and in the future, such a thing can not happen again, okay, today's New Year, we see red, see red at least three points happy!
Tian Limai really wanted to listen to his grandfather's words completely, but his head was very heavy and his eyelids really couldn't open, he shook his head, as if he didn't shake!
Tian Limai's head rested lightly on the dining table, he felt that it was so good to sleep, he really wanted to sleep, he didn't know who was calling him, it seemed to be his father, and his mother's voice, "Mom, Mai'er, I must be admitted to a key high school, I must be admitted, and then I will be admitted to the university!
The back does not move...... Tian Limai grunted and fell asleep soundly......
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Vientiane was renewed, Tian Limai was awakened by the sound of firecrackers, Tian Limai opened his eyes and looked out the window, the sky was already bright!
Last night...... Tian Limai shook his head, he couldn't remember anything, and he didn't even have any impression of how he got back home and how he lay on the bunk!
Tian Limai got dressed and got up immediately. He knew that according to custom, it was not allowed to wake up on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and it was all up to him to get up!
Tian Limai walked out of his room, his father Tian Hezhuang, mother Yang Meizhen and sister Tian Liyu had already gotten up, his father was simmering tea in the fire pit, and his mother Yang Meizhen and sister Tian Liyu were too early in the stove house!
Seeing Tian Limai get up, his father said, "Mai'er, go wash quickly, and then come and drink a cup of lightly boiled tea to refresh yourself!"
Father seemed to be fine, as if nothing had happened yesterday, and after his father finished saying that, he didn't even look at Tian Limai and went to serve him with tea!
At this time, my sister Tian Liyu came to the fire pit house from the stove room and said to Tian Limai: "Brother, Mom asked if you want to eat mung bean skin? Mom said that it is good to boil ginseng soup, otherwise, you will only have glutinous rice cakes to eat!"
"Sister, I haven't washed my face yet, I'll eat whatever you eat!" Tian Limai said.
Sister Tian Liyu looked at Tian Limai, then walked over and took Tian Limai's right hand and said, "Brother, let me see the thumb of the finger, I didn't draw deep last night!?"
Tian Limai broke free of his sister Tian Liyu and said, "Sister, it's okay, that mouth was sealed last night!"
Sister Tian Liyu looked at Tian Limai and said, "Brother, I should believe it?!"
"Don't believe it, sister, go and help mom!" After Tian Limai finished speaking, he went to wash his face!
According to the rules, from the first day of the first month to the fifteenth Lantern Festival of the first month, you can only eat baba, mung bean skin, noodles, glutinous rice balls, and you can't cook rice to eat, otherwise, in spring and summer, there are many mosquitoes in rice!
There are three kinds of mung bean skin: rice noodles, coarse rice flour, and spun yarn flour.
The early dishes are also very rich, including stewed kelp with feet and hooves, stir-fried lean meat, sparse pork baba, tofu fruit, tofu, fried mutton, etc., and some dishes were made a day or two ago!
"Mai'er, I was drunk last night, do you want to eat some noodles or mung bean skin?" Mother Yang Meizhen asked.
"Mom, don't, I'm fine, this glutinous baba honey is delicious!" Tian Limai replied.
Father Tian Hezhuang poured himself a glass of wine, and he said with a smile while drinking: "Mai'er, this wine should be like Dad's, a meal of health wine, healthy and long-lived!
Seeing his father's happy appearance, Tian Limai scooped a spoonful of soup and said, "Dad, I respect you and wish you a happy New Year!" After Tian Limai finished speaking, he drank the soup in the spoon in one gulp!
Father Tian Hezhuang smiled and picked up the wine glass and said, "Come, I wish you three mothers a happy New Year!"
"Dad, I come to honor you, Mom and Brother, I wish Dad and Mom a happy New Year, happy every day, and I wish my brother all his wishes come true!" My sister Tian Liyu scooped up a spoonful of soup, stood up and drank it in one gulp after speaking!
Mother Yang Meizhen said with a smile: "It's still Yu'er who said it well, come, let's drink!" After speaking, her mother Yang Meizhen also scooped a small spoonful of soup to drink!
When the family was laughing and wishing each other a happy New Year at the dinner table, my brother Tian Liyun came!
Brother Tian Liyun carried a drink, and when he entered the house, he said: "Uncle and Niang, I have a New Year's greeting for you!"
"Nephew, we should go first, you should come first!" Mother Yang Meizhen said with a smile.
"My mother, I'm out all year round, it's right to come and see Uncle and Niang, but I don't have anything to take!" Brother Tian Liyun said.
The elder brother Tian Liyun was invited to the table, and his father Tian Hezhuang said: "Nephew, since you have come to me, on the first day of junior high school, accompany your uncle for a drink!"
"Uncle, I've already passed it, it's early in the morning, just drink!?" Brother Tian Liyun said.
"Brother, drink less with Dad!" Although Tian Limai is not very enthusiastic about this brother, there is an ancient precept: Don't chase the door! Since this brother is here, he should be more enthusiastic.
"Brother, I'll drink if you drink it!" Tian Liyun said.
"Nephew, don't compare with your brother, he's still studying, he was also drunk last night, you also saw it, come, don't climb your brother, our two uncles and nephews drink!" Father Tian Hezhuang hurriedly persuaded.
Brother Tian Liyun looked at Tian Limai and smiled and said, "Brother, if it weren't for Uncle Mi saying, you really have to have a drink with my brother!"
Tian Limai was not hot in his heart, and when he saw his father Tian Hezhuang drinking wine with him, he smiled at his brother Tian Liyun, didn't speak, and then put down his chopsticks and stood up and walked to the stove house!
Mother Yang Meizhen may have seen something, and followed her to the stove house, and her mother Yang Meizhen asked, "Mai'er, have you eaten well?"
"Eat, Mom!" Tian Limai replied.
"Mai'er, today is to eat at your second uncle's house for lunch, this is like this every year, if you have nothing else to do, you go to your room to read your books, so as not to sit and watch your father drink and delay time!" Mother Yang Meizhen said.
"Mom, when are you going to go to my grandparents' house?" Tian Limai didn't say anything about going to his room to read, but changed the topic and asked.
"What? Mai'er, do you still want to go to your grandparents' house?" asked her mother, Yang Meizhen.
When Mother Yang Meizhen asked like this, Tian Limai's face suddenly turned red: "Mom, I'm just asking?"
"Mai'er, why is your face red?" asked her mother, Yang Meizhen, puzzled.
Indeed, only Tian Limai knows what is going on with Tian Limai's face, why does he say that he blushes when he goes to his grandparents' house? Mother Yang Meizhen is absolutely unclear, because mother Yang Meizhen has never thought about those aspects at all, after all, her sister Yang Tingting is four years older than Tian Limai!
"Mom, am I blushing? am I blushing?" asked Tian Limai, rubbing his hands on both sides of his face.
"Okay, Mai'er, you go to read a book, go to your grandparents' house, if you want to go, go!" Mother Yang Meizhen went to the fire pit house after speaking!
Tian Limai went to his room, took out his winter vacation homework and started to do it!
During the winter vacation, Tian Limai has a plan, starting from the beginning of the first month, using five days to do all the homework, and then using five days to review all the courses, resting for one to two days, and then using three days to review the five courses of language, mathematics, foreign language, physics, and chemistry, and go to school on the 16th of the first month!
If you have a plan, you must implement the plan, and throughout the morning, Tian Limai did not have a break, and just went to the toilet twice!
After his father Tian Hezhuang and his elder brother Tian Liyun finished drinking, after their mother Yang Meizhen finished washing the dishes, they went to the house of the second uncle Tian Shuizhuang together!
When the second uncle's lunch was cooked, it was already more than two o'clock in the afternoon, and Tian Yimei came to Tian Limai's house, stood on the eaves stone and shouted loudly: "Brother Tian Limai, Sister Tian Liyu, the rice is cooked, come to our house for dinner!"
Tian Limai hurriedly came out of the room, and he said to Tian Yumei: "Sister, why did your family's food only get cooked at this time, my brother is hungry!"
At this time, my sister Tian Liyu also came out and said, "Sister, I'm also hungry, how can I get a meal until this time!?"
"Brother, sister, dad and mom said, take your time, aunt they are coming, wait for them to come and eat together!" Tian Yimei explained.
