In the evening, Ji's father arranged a table of good dishes, I haven't seen him for two years, and my father's skills have grown a lot.

Ji Ran took two glasses, poured the red wine brewed by his eldest cousin, and tasted a glass with Ji's father.

I don't know if I don't drink this wine, the taste is really very different from the wine I bought, the wine has been drunk by Ji Ran before, Changyu dry red wine, French red wine, especially the most famous Lafite red wine produced in the Lafite estate, Ji Ran has tasted it, and even the original red wine in oak barrels has been drunk, but those wines are more or less drunk in Ji Ran with a little "click" taste, and some are a little astringent.

However, the red wine made by my cousin does not have the slightest taste in it, the red wine is mellow and fragrant, with a hint of smooth and smooth feeling, and the mouth is full of fragrance after drinking, and the aftertaste is endless.

"Yes, it's delicious." Ji Ran said in surprise.

Father Ji smiled and nodded, "Yes, it's been half a month since your eldest cousin sent it, and I can't bear it." ”

Hearing this, Ji Ran smiled awkwardly, "Dad, I'm sorry, I didn't know you loved drinking so much, I should have poured less if I knew it." ”

Dad Ji smiled and quickly shook his head: "No, I didn't mean that, I mean that this wine is delicious, taste it slowly, no need to keep it, no one drinks it during the New Year anyway, it's better for us to drink it tonight." ”

Ji Ran thought about it, my father is going to his own house for the New Year, and there is no one in this hometown, if this wine is put in the New Year, it is estimated that it will be rancid. It's better to drink it all while it's still fresh.

The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors. Ji Ran and his father drank a little too much, especially Ji Ran, I didn't expect this wine to be so strong, I only felt mellow and sweet when I drank it, but after drinking it, I found out. His head was dizzy, and his cheeks were flushed, as if he was flying all over the red glow. Delicate and cute.

Father Ji was also a little upset, his face was white and red, and he gradually talked more.

"Yes, there's something Dad wants to discuss with you." Father Ji spoke.

"Yes. Tell me Daddy. Ji Ran sat on the sofa. looked at his father and said.

"Ranran, your aunt's cousin Xu Wenle is going to high school this year, and your aunt has been pulling him alone for so many years, it's not easy, I heard that your cousin studied well and was admitted to the city's No. 1 Middle School, but the tuition may be a bit expensive, I wonder if I can help your aunt?" Dad Ji said this. found that Ji Ran's face was a little wrong, and he seemed to remember the sad things back then.

Father Ji hurriedly said, "Ran." I know that it was your sister-in-law who was wrong and hurt you back then, and your sister-in-law also has an inescapable responsibility, but your cousin Lele is innocent, for your mother's sake, you should help them, right? Now count your conditions. ”

Hearing Ji's father say this, although Ji Ran was still a little angry in his heart, after all, it was rare for his father to speak once, and Ji Ran couldn't refute his father's face, so he had to reluctantly agree.

"Then when I go to see my grandmother tomorrow, let's stop by to see my aunt." Ji Ran said.

"Hey, okay." Father Ji smiled and nodded, "Your grandmother is most worried about your aunt now, if you help your aunt, it will be equivalent to filial piety to your grandmother." ”

"Yes." Ji Ran nodded and agreed.

In the evening, after Ji Ran helped Ji's father clean up the dishes and chopsticks, he called Wang Le and explained the situation.

Wang Le heard Ji Ran's narration and nodded: "Okay, you can handle it yourself, and call me when you need money." ”

"Yes, okay." Ji Ran said.

"Grandma said hello to my grandmother for me, and I will definitely visit my grandmother in person when I have the opportunity." Wang Le said.

Ji Ran smiled and nodded, "Well, okay, I will definitely transfer it." ”

"Okay, I'll be busy for a while, so let's do it first." Wang Le said.

"Well, husband, pay attention to your body." Ji Ran didn't forget to advise.

Wang Le's heart warmed, he smiled and hung up the phone.

The next day, Ji Ran went to her grandmother's house with Ji's father, her grandmother is eighty years old this year, but her body is still very tough, and her complexion is not bad, seeing Ji Ran come to see her, her grandmother is very happy, and the whole family also rushed over, which was in the past when Ji Ran was in high school, but it will never happen.

In the past, before Ji Ran went to high school, the family conditions were not good, he had just come out of the countryside, and his economic situation could not be compared with the families of several aunts, so at that time, these uncles had not looked at Ji Ran's family squarely, and Ji's father was also looked down upon in front of several brothers-in-law and brothers-in-law.

Ten years in Hedong and ten years in Hexi, now Ji Ran's family is doing well, a few uncles are like chameleons, and they immediately have a 180-degree change, and they have special respect for Ji Ran's family, this time Ji Ran came to see her grandmother, and after several aunts and uncles got the news, they all rushed over immediately, especially for Ji's father's enthusiasm, as if they were brothers.

Of course, Dad Ji didn't hold a grudge against them, he still treated each other politely, and the whole family enjoyed themselves.

"Ranran, I heard that your husband is going to the south to develop? Which city are you going to? Aunt Zhao Shufen asked enthusiastically.

"The initial plan is to go to Oriental Pearl City, but it hasn't been decided yet." Ji Ran said.

"Ouch, Oriental Pearl City? It's an international metropolis, where housing prices are so high, competition is fierce, and business is easy to do? Second Aunt Zhao Shulian asked worriedly.

Ji Ran smiled and shook his head, "I don't know much about business matters, and I rarely ask about it, Wang Le takes care of it alone, he wants to go to the south to develop, there should be a reason for him, right?" ”

"It's really amazing, in just a few years, he has developed from a poor boy from scratch to a big boss, it's really not easy." The eldest aunt said with envy.

"Who wouldn't say that? If you want me to say, the most blessed thing in our family is the third brother-in-law, who gave birth to such a good daughter, and the son-in-law is so capable, the future life will be more comfortable than living in heaven. Ji Ran's fourth aunt, Zhao Shuai, said with a smile.

"Yes, our family is the most blessed with kindness, this daughter called him to celebrate the New Year in the past, the daughter is filial, the son-in-law has the ability, and the good life in the future is good." Ji Ran's grandmother said with a smile.

"The third brother-in-law can move in directly, and the province and the third sister live separately." Ji Ran's fourth uncle, Liang Guoen, said with a smile.

"My daughter called, let me not come back after the New Year, but we don't have a home or a house, why do we live in my son-in-law's house? After all, the father-in-law and son-in-law are not flesh and blood, once they get angry and turn their faces, it will not be good in the future, it is better to come back after the New Year, and when you miss your daughter, you can just go to her quietly. Dad Ji said with a smile.

"Brother-in-law, you are wrong to say so, these years the daughters are the same, our former head of the Finance Bureau, Director Zhao, there is a daughter in the family, and then the daughter went abroad to marry a foreigner, as soon as Director Zhao retired, he took his wife directly to go abroad to find his daughter, this year there is a son to rely on the son, there is a daughter to rely on the daughter, what is this?

Times have changed, and my brother-in-law can no longer use the old ideas. The fourth aunt, Liang Guoen, said with a smile.

Father Ji pondered carefully, and it seemed to make some sense, but after all, Father Ji was a conservative man, and if he wanted him to live in his daughter's house, he really couldn't pull him down, so he just laughed twice and didn't speak.

"Third brother-in-law, Xiao Liang is right, there are sons who rely on their sons, and daughters who rely on their daughters, and now that they are so promising, your son-in-law is so capable, why should you hold yourself back in this small city with a big slap? Follow your daughter to see the outside world more, how wonderful is life? Aunt Zhao Shufen persuaded.

Father Ji smiled and nodded, took out a box of Yellow Crane Tower cigarettes, and gave one to the eldest aunt, the second aunt and the fourth aunt one by one.

Seeing that it was a white box Yellow Crane Tower, the fourth aunt-in-law Liang Guoen couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Hey, the white box Yellow Crane Tower?" One thousand and eighty-one. ”

Hearing this, the eldest aunt and the second aunt were also slightly taken aback, 1,81 cigarettes, 90 yuan a box, and this kind of cigarette belongs to high-end tobacco, which is not sold in general tobacco stores and supermarkets, and most of them are fake brands.

Ji Ran's fourth uncle, Liang Guoen, works in the Finance Bureau, and now he has mixed into the position of the director, he is the number one in the bureau, and he has seen a lot of the world, so he naturally recognizes this kind of cigarette, but he is reluctant to pay for this kind of cigarette on weekdays, so it is very rare.

Ji's father let go of the cigarette and was about to light the fire, but was pressed down by Ji Ran, and at this time, the fourth aunt-in-law Liang Guoen reacted with a smile, and quickly took out the lighter to light the cigarettes for the three brothers-in-law.

Although the scene was a little embarrassing, Ji Ran still did it, because Ji Ran didn't want people to look down on his father, his family was poor before, and his father served tea and water to these high-spirited uncles, they took it for granted, but now it's different, life is better than yours, why do you have to serve you upside down?

Dad Ji felt a little embarrassed, he was a poor worker in a factory, he didn't have much ability, and he really couldn't afford to let a dignified director of the Finance Bureau light a cigarette for himself, and when he saw Liang Guoen coming over with a fire, Dad Ji stood up early, bent down and lit the cigarette.

Just when the whole family was talking and laughing, Ji Ran's fifth aunt Zhao Shumei has been silent, in the past, she was the richest in her family, and she seemed to be a head taller than others wherever she went, but now, she is the most depressed in her family, her husband was imprisoned for kidnapping and suspected of committing the crime of committing a bow woman, and the business has stopped. It made Ji Ran feel a little pitiful. (To be continued......)
