"Got it, Grandma!" Tian Limai also stood up and replied.

"Sun Wa, the stomach ache may be 'sha', if it is 'sha', just make a bowl of red thumb gray water and drink it!" Grandma sat down.

"Old right guest, who still drinks that water now, that water was used in the past when there was a shortage of medicine, what age is it now, and you still use that? Forget it, don't talk about it, let's start eating!" Grandpa said.

In addition to the stewed chicken soup, there are also water-soaked tofu on the dinner table, and of course, there are many other dishes, such as stewed pork trotters with kelp.

Grandpa and grandma sat on the main seat, Liu Junwen sat on the right hand of grandpa, and was regarded as the guest of honor, then sat on the eldest uncle Tian Muzhuang and second uncle Tian Shuizhuang, Tian Limai sat next to the second uncle Tian Shuizhuang, Gu Feifei sat on the grandmother's left hand seat, and was treated as the second guest, and then sat Yang Tingting, Luo Sisi and Sun Junli, and the eldest aunt sat on the table because she wanted to add vegetables and add food to the guests.

Grandpa took out the good wine Shi Nanchun, and asked Uncle Tian Muzhuang to pour wine for the guests, none of the guests except Liu Junwen drank alcohol, Uncle Tian Muzhuang poured a full glass of Liu Junwen's wine, Liu Junwen saw it and said: "Uncle Da, this big cup, you will get drunk if you drink it!"

"Nephew, it's okay, go to bed when you're drunk!" Uncle Tian Muzhuang said.

Tian Limai could have drunk a little, but because he pretended to have a stomachache, he couldn't drink it. Grandpa and grandma originally wanted to persuade Gu Feifei to drink a little, but Gu Feifei said that she had never touched liquor herself, so she had to give up!

In addition to Liu Junwen, there are grandfathers, grandmothers, eldest uncles Tian Muzhuang, second uncles Tian Shuizhuang and eldest uncles drinking on the table, after pouring all the wine, grandpa stood up with the wine and said: "Today our Tian family has distinguished guests, distant guests, in order to show our sincerity, my old man used a toast song to express the welcome of distinguished guests!"

When Gu Feifei heard that her grandfather was going to sing a toast, she immediately said, "Grandpa, wait a while, I'll go get the recorder!"

Liu Junwen also hurriedly put down the wine glass that had been raised, and walked over to help Gu Feifei take the recorder, Gu Feifei saw it and said: "Junwen, I don't need your help to take this recorder, you'd better take out your small video camera and record it!"

"Fei Fei, the small camera has no battery, that day at the 'King of Folk Songs' Qin Laosan, I was about to take it out, and when I saw that there was no power, I didn't take it, but because of the complexity of things, I still forgot to charge it!" Liu Junwen said.

"Junwen, your memory, alas, I don't know what to say about you? Gu Feifei had already taken out the voice recorder from her bag, because the luggage and packages of the group were still stacked in the hall and had not yet been taken into the room, because the room had not yet been arranged for people!

Liu Junwen took out the battery of the camera, found a skewer hole in the hall and charged it, and then returned to the dinner table!

Seeing that Gu Feifei brought a voice recorder, grandpa picked up the wine glass again and stood up without saying anything, cleared his throat and sang: "Full of laughter, full of songs, Tujia cottage is so prosperous, please sit down, first toast a glass of Shi Nanchun, and then sing (which) a toast song, please, please, please, please drink!"

Grandpa finished drinking, and drank the wine in the cup with a tilt of his neck.

Grandpa finished drinking, Liu Junwen also drank the wine as soon as he raised his neck, followed by Uncle Tian Muzhuang and Tian Shuizhuang, but Uncle Niang did not drink, because there is an unwritten rule in Tujia Cottage, that is, no matter what the daughter-in-law does, she must stay away from her father-in-law, for example, she can't sit on the same bench, and the father-in-law drinks the wine of the "Toasting Song" to the guests, of course the uncle can't drink it, otherwise, let outsiders know that they will laugh at their father-in-law is a "fire burner"!

Gu Feifei saw that her grandfather sang a toasting song, which had a clear eye and a tone, she also took the initiative to get a wine glass, drank a little wine for herself, and said: "Grandpa, your toasting song, it sounds delicious, I want to participate in it too!"

"Okay, okay, granddaughter, that grandpa will sing a piece for you alone!"

After Grandpa finished speaking, he was about to sing again, Gu Feifei hurriedly asked, "Grandpa, how many sections are there in this toasting song?"

"Granddaughter, this toast song has fourteen paragraphs, just now I sang the beginning of the paragraph, also called the opening of the cup, after the opening of the cup, a month of a paragraph, sing twelve paragraphs, the guests drink twelve cups in a row, after the twelve cups of drinking, there is a round cup of wine, and then sing a paragraph!" Grandpa said.

"Grandpa, the guests drink more than a dozen glasses of wine in a row, so they really need a lot of wine to dare to serve a wine glass?!" Gu Feifei said.

"Yes, granddaughter, in the past, there were three glasses of barricade wine, called Sanguan wine, and after drinking barricade wine, I entered the hall to eat and drink again, so it was really necessary to drink a lot of alcohol before I dared to come to our Tujia cottage, but now no one follows these rules!" Grandpa said.

"Grandpa, we can't drink more than a dozen glasses according to the rules, we mainly want to experience this atmosphere and listen to the toasting song you drink, grandpa, so I can only suck one sip of each paragraph with Junwen!" Gu Feifei said.

Grandpa looked at Gu Feifei, then looked at Liu Junwen and said, "Granddaughter, you are a girl, you can, but Junwen is not a nephew!"

"Grandpa, Fei Fei can't drink it, but I don't drink much, if I drink more than ten glasses, I'm afraid I will be too drunk to wake up!" Liu Junwen said.

"Nephew, then you do your best, how much you drink this wine, see if you are happy or not, and then you can determine for yourself, the wine is not hard to persuade!" Grandpa said.

"Grandpa, with your words, we can listen to you sing a toast song with confidence!" Liu Junwen said.

"Grandpa, sing quickly?" Sun Junli urged.

In the past, Sun Junli had never seen and heard her grandfather sing a toast, and she couldn't imagine that her grandfather's toast was so good.

Grandpa smiled, picked up the wine glass and sang: "A glass of wine toasts a spring, the distinguished guest (which) came to drink the wine, although it is coarse tea and light rice, the cup (which) thin wine shows the truth, please, please, please, please drink!"

After the grandfather finished singing, he finished drinking the wine in the cup first, Liu Junwen hesitated for a moment, and also drank the wine in the cup, Gu Feifei smiled and really picked up the wine glass and sucked it. Then the eldest Uncle Tian Muzhuang and the second Uncle Tian Shuizhuang drank wine.

The eldest aunt still didn't drink it, but she had already taken a few sips while her grandfather was talking to Gu Feifei and Liu Junwen.

"Two glasses of wine to toast a hundred flowers, a hundred flowers (which) are open to distinguished guests, guests come to the cottage and shine, and a glass of light wine (which) also expresses a heart, please, please, please, please drink!"

After the grandfather finished singing, he drank the wine in the cup again, and Liu Junwen saw it, this time without any hesitation, and also drank the wine in the cup.

The others also drank as before.

When Uncle Tian Muzhuang just poured the wine in the cups of all the drinkers, the grandfather sang again: "Three cups of wine toast three knots, good day (which) beautiful scenery meets confidant, wine meets confidant, a thousand cups are less, and then drink (which) cup will also increase affection, please, please, please, please drink!"

Grandpa picked up the wine glass and drank it all, except for Gu Feifei and the eldest uncle, the other drinkers also drank it all. Gu Feifei picked up the wine glass and sucked it, but the eldest aunt still didn't move the wine glass!

When the grandfather was about to continue drinking, the grandmother persuaded: "Old man, do you want to rest first, let the little babies eat some food and then sing and drink, as soon as they get on the table, they don't even eat a mouthful of food, they drink empty stomach wine and get drunk!"

Grandpa listened to grandma's words, and hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, I'm so old, people are happy, I only care about singing and drinking, but I forgot to let the guests eat vegetables, come, let's eat some dishes together before singing!"

Everyone was eating and gossiping, Gu Feifei asked: "Grandpa, if there are guests coming, you sing a toast song to them, and they tip you, are you willing to sing?"

"I don't want to!" Grandpa didn't seem to think about it and refused.

"Grandpa, what are you?" Gu Feifei asked puzzled, while she glanced at Liu Junwen.

Liu Junwen glanced at Tian Limai and wanted Tian Limai to answer, but he suddenly felt that it was inappropriate, so he smiled and said: "Feifei, don't look at me, the reason why grandpa is unwilling, let him say it himself!"

"Junwen, I'm asking grandpa, what are you doing to answer, can't you see it?" Gu Feifei said in a somewhat coquettish tone.

"Granddaughter, you are from the south outside the mountain, and I won't tell you that since you are a guest, what kind of tips do you charge? Grandpa said.

"Grandpa, I'm talking about ordinary guests, not guests who come to your house, but those tourists who we will bring a group here next time!" Gu Feifei explained.

"Granddaughter, it's the guest you brought, even the guest of my Tian family, and it's free of charge!" Grandpa said again.

"No, grandpa, you don't charge tips, it has little to do with us, and tipping is completely voluntary for guests, which is also a kind of consumption for them, you sing a toast, they are happy, they are willing to give, if you don't want it, we can't get it, the point is that they will still think you are stupid!" Gu Feifei said.

Grandpa listened to Gu Feifei's words, especially the sentence "You will think you are stupid" if you don't charge money later, which seemed to stimulate grandpa, and grandpa said unhappily: "It's better not to sing, so as not to cause some trouble!"

Seeing that grandpa was unhappy, Liu Junwen said: "Grandpa, let me say something you don't like to hear, in fact, you sing a toast song is the same as when you go to work in the field, those people who give you tips are the same as you harvest rice, they are all earned by labor, those people give you tips, it is also a kind of respect for your labor, but those who listen to your toast song and don't tip you really want to despise them!"

Liu Junwen's words made grandfather, grandmother, eldest uncle Tian Muzhuang, and second uncle Tian Shuizhuang unheard of, and there is such a profound reason for collecting tips!
