Chapter 008: The Wine of the Village Chief's Family

The days in the countryside are simple and boring, the sound of firecrackers in the village is still ringing every once in a while, and there are waves of people who go to eat everywhere on the road, but these have nothing to do with Zhang Mingjie, because no matter who makes the wine, Zhang Daneng is not allowed to eat and drink.

Although Yunan County is poor, there is one thing that is difficult to match anywhere else, and that is whole wine.

The family holds a large wine banquet, called the whole wine, such as wedding wine, birthday wine, moving wine, etc., the whole wine here is a trend, almost every day someone is in the whole wine, sometimes ten days and a half months do not have to cook a meal at home, and even eat more than one wine a day, a few people only split up to act, each go to a family, if you meet a neighbor close to the whole wine, you have to go to help for a day.

Originally, this whole wine is someone's private matter, and others can't control it, but here, the whole wine is everyone's business, no matter who makes the whole wine, and it doesn't matter whether you recognize the whole wine or not, as long as he sends you an invitation, you have to go, called eating wine, you can't go if you don't go, because if you don't go, you will be despised by everyone.

Of course, you can't eat wine in vain, you have to give gifts, and the amount of gift money can't be casual, here are the rules here, if you don't have any relatives with the whole wine, and you haven't been in contact with each other before, even if you are too poor to open the pot, then you have to give at least 100 yuan.

If you have been in contact before, then you have to check your own love account, here, each family has a few love accounts, there are records sent out, there are records received in, if you find out that the latest time someone sent you is 100 yuan, then you have to double the gift, at least not less than the original others sent you, send less, it is possible to be kicked out by the owner's family on the spot.

You ask why people make whole wine every day, where do you get so much wine? Speaking of this whole wine, all the people here shook their heads, if the whole wine is only taken for weddings and funerals, and a family can't be cleaned up for a few years, then what kind of wine are these wines? Of course, it's nothing to drink, what is nothing to drink? It's just a wine that has nothing to do.

There are many names for the whole wine, such as the birthday of the year, the old man and the child, plus their own two people, it is enough for several times a year, plus like the Wang family, to set up a monument to the dead, to build a new house for the pigsty, or an old hen actually lays two eggs a day, or the hostess pulls out a human-shaped radish from the ground, these are all can be the whole wine.

Originally, everyone hated this whole wine, and the gift money given out every year was higher than the total income of the whole family that year.

But why do you want to keep doing this?

The reason is very simple, the money sent out has to be recovered, right?

How to receive? The whole drink, of course.

So, your family has been rectified by my family, and my family has been rectified by others, endlessly, and the whole is dead.

There is also a famous saying about eating wine, called "eat wine and eat wine, don't ask what wine, eat and leave", for the matter of eating wine, people here have long been numb, as long as they hear the sound of cannonballs, bring the gift money to go, and don't ask people about the whole wine, because this is no longer important, they eat and leave quickly.

Some people call the invitation a bomb, some people call it a ticket, saying that it is a ticket, but this is more powerful than a ticket, if it is just a ticket, maybe you can also find a relationship to say a favor, or delay two days and then pay the fine, but the invitation sent by people is different, saying that it is which day is which day, as soon as the time comes, you have to send the gift money on time, it is not late, and the family has to borrow it obediently.

Therefore, the villagers here often say that favors are not debts, and the pot on your head is sold, and you can not have a pot for cooking at home, and you can't miss people's gift money.

There are two well-known weirdos in Yujiang Village, one is Wang Jincai, and the other is Zhang Daneng, Wang Jincai drinks an average of two to three times a year, and Zhang Daneng's family never drinks well, of course, he never eats other people's wine, and he really lives his own life, let others say go.

However, today's wine is different, Zhang Mingjie after repeated thoughts, he felt that he should eat this wine no matter what, so he changed into clean clothes early in the morning, dressed up handsome and handsome, and went out with a second hand, he did not tell his father Zhang Daneng about going to eat wine, because he knew that as long as Zhang Daneng knew, this wine would not be eaten.

Zhang Daneng went down to the ground as soon as it was dawn, and Wu Chunrong, who was cooking at home, didn't care much about these things, so Zhang Mingjie walked out slowly while humming a song.

"Mingjie, where are you going?" Suddenly, Zhang Daneng had a cigarette stick in his mouth and stopped in front of Zhang Mingjie like an electric pole, startling Zhang Mingjie.

Zhang Mingjie patted his chest and said, "Dad, didn't you go to the ground, why did you come back, and you didn't make a sound, which scared me." ”

Zhang Daneng made a blank face and said, "Don't change the topic, let me ask you, where are you going to go, who is dressed like a dog?" ”

Zhang Mingjie's eyes rolled, and he said with a hippie smile: "I'm going on a blind date, yesterday Widow Li told me that she made another appointment with a girl, so I went early this morning." ”

Zhang Daneng took a puff of cigarette and said slowly: "Blind date? Why didn't I hear Widow Li tell me, haven't you always been reluctant to go on a blind date, the sun is coming out of the west today? ”

Zhang Mingjie said with a hippie smile: "Every time I am forced by you to go, I always feel that it is not very good, I have also figured it out, blind date is a good thing, maybe I can really meet a good girl, so I don't need you to force me in the future, I will take the initiative to go." ”

Zhang Daneng's eyes widened and said, "You don't give me a hippie smile, who am I?" I'm your old man, I know what shit you pull as soon as you pout your ass, you think I don't know that you're going to eat and drink, I sue you, you know my rules, no one is allowed to go to the whole drink, hurry up and go back to me. ”

Zhang Mingjie saw that his wishful thinking was seen through by his father, so he had to confess: "Dad, this wine is different today, and it won't break your rules." ”

Zhang Daneng's face sank and said, "What's different, just because he's the village head?" You also have to have a point of interest in slapping on the back, a small village head, you are like this, if it is the town mayor and county magistrate's house, you still don't go to serve night pots to others? ”

Zhang Mingjie saw that Zhang Daneng misunderstood what he meant, and hurriedly said: "Dad, it's not what you think, it's true that he is the village chief, but people are getting married today with their daughters, this wedding wine is different from other wines, this is a great joy, people are like this once in their lives, no matter when, no matter where, this wedding wine must be rectified, I will eat this wine, it will not break your rules." ”

Zhang Daneng spat out a puff of smoke and said, "No matter what kind of wine, you are not allowed to go, his daughter is married, and he is not married to you, what does it matter to you?" ”

Zhang Mingjie was anxious and said: "Dad, I am going to stay at home now to start a business, and I will inevitably trouble the village chief in the future, not to mention that his family is a wedding wine today, even if there is nothing to do, I have to go, otherwise there will be something in the future, are you embarrassed to go to someone for help?" ”

Zhang Daneng said: "His village chief is doing this job, why are you embarrassed to look for him, you hurry up and go back to me, other people's daughters are married, see that you are in a hurry, you have the ability to marry yourself?" ”

Zhang Mingjie said: "I will naturally get married when I get married, but if I don't eat other people's wine, who will come when I get married in the future, everyone is a folk, no one will go to the whole wine, you see for yourself, do we have a decent relative?" I've thought about it, since I'm going to put down roots here, then I have to get a place to go for relationships, you have to follow your own rules, and I won't break your rules when I go out to eat and drink. ”

When Zhang Daneng heard this, he was furious, knocked the cigarette stick on the stone, pointed at Zhang Mingjie's nose and scolded: "Bastard, what do you mean that I have to abide by my rules, you are not my son?" I sue you, I have been practicing this rule for decades, you must continue to pass it on to me, you go out to inquire, who doesn't envy me behind it, who is willing to eat those idle wines every day? ”

Zhang Mingjie saw that Zhang Daneng was really angry, so he quickly softened down and said with a smile: "Dad, I'm not wrong with your rules, but the necessary human relationship has to go anywhere, the village chief's family is a wedding wine today, not a wine for nothing, I will definitely trouble him in the future, so I have to eat this wine today." ”

Zhang Daneng said with a tough attitude: "No, it doesn't matter what kind of wine he has, my rule is that no one's wine is allowed to eat, you hurry up and give me back." ”

Zhang Mingjie really can't take his stubborn father, but he still has to eat this wine today, what kind of society is China? It is a society where human affection is greater than Wang Fa, and if he wants to take root in the countryside in the future, he must not be an outlier like his father, otherwise it will be difficult to move an inch.

He made up his mind and said resolutely to Zhang Daneng: "Dad, no matter what you say today, I must eat this wine, I don't want to regret it, I'm sorry." ”

Zhang Daneng bypassed Zhang Daneng after speaking, and slipped away from another way, Zhang Daneng saw that Zhang Mingjie was so disobedient to himself, he was so angry that his whole body trembled, and pointed at Zhang Mingjie's back and scolded: "You bastard, unfilial son, now that your wings are hard, Lao Tzu can't control you, isn't it ......?"

Zhang Mingjie quickened his pace, and soon left Zhang Daneng's scolding far behind, but he felt very bad in his heart, today was the first time he disobeyed his father so much, he knew that it must have hurt Zhang Daneng's heart, but he had to eat this wine today.
