Chapter 53: There is still a long way to go

Zhang Shuqiu recalled the words of the sixth aunt, and when he slowly returned to the courtyard of Wujin, Ning Ye was in a daze with the cup of tea in his hand.

The sun had almost set, and the courtyard was a little dark, and feeling that Zhang Shuqiu was back, Ning Ye raised his head and looked at her, and laughed dotingly.

Zhang Shuqiu responded to him and asked with a smile, "What are you thinking?" ”

Ning Ye thought thoughtfully: "I'm thinking, I seem to have thought about it simpler before." ”

Zhang Shuqiu smiled: "I'm thirsty, I want to drink water." ”

Ning Ye got up, refilled his teacup, and handed it to Zhang Shuqiu, his eyes were clear, and he looked at her with half grievances and said, "You little villain, you refuse to admit that I am your boyfriend, which makes your sixth aunt misunderstood." ”

Zhang Shuqiu took two sips of water on his hand, blinked playfully and said, "When did you become my boyfriend, why didn't I know?" ”

Ning Ye was angry and funny, and he didn't say much, he directly pulled Zhang Shuqiu into his arms, kissed him, and waited until the person in his arms couldn't breathe, then let go and asked softly, "Still don't admit it?" Seeing that Zhang Shuqiu didn't squeak and was about to kiss again, she hurriedly blocked it with her hand and said, "Okay, I admit it's not good!" ”

"Then how are you going to introduce me when you go out later?"

"Say, say you're my boyfriend." Zhang Shuqiu's voice was lower than that of a mosquito.

Ning Ye got what he wanted, and gently hugged Zhang Shuqiu into his arms, and said softly: "Xiaoqiu, look, you have so many family members, if you don't give me some confidence, how can I sit still?" ”

Zhang Shuqiu was sour and soft by what he said, and said with a sigh: "I know, first, I, a little, for the first time, my sixth aunt ......"

"Well, I know, you're the first time, you're not used to it, right. But I have you, you have me, we all have to get used to it, what do you say? But your sixth aunt is quite scary, what is she doing? ”

"My sixth aunt is a professor in the Chinese Department of Beijing University, and she should know your mother." Zhang Shuqiu said in a low voice.

"No wonder, does your sixth aunt dislike our family?"

"You have what you say, who dares to dislike your family."

"Then why do I think she seems to be a little worried? You have to tell me if you have anything, it's okay or not, I have to know what I'm not good about in order to be good. ”

"No, that is, marrying into your family is not very free."

When Ning Ye heard this, he knew in his heart: "Aunt Sixth is not wrong about this, but it is not so serious. Look at me, isn't it very free now, just follow me, our family's requirements for me are just two words: low-key. ”

"Your surname is this surname, isn't it also for low-key?" Zhang Shuqiu said with a smile.

"How could I have thought of this at that time, but when my grandfather married my grandmother, he promised my grandmother's family, and I will tell you about it slowly in the future, it is getting dark at this time, and we will not go out again, I'm afraid it's not good." Ning Ye explained.

"What are you going to do at night?" Zhang Shuqiu led Ning Ye along the sandwich road and went forward, and there was already a lot of people outside, which was very lively.

"You listen to this voice, how many people do you have, I'm going to get drunk directly first, I'm a little cowardly, I don't admit it." Ning Ye smiled helplessly.

Seeing Ning Ye like this, Zhang Shuqiu suddenly felt weak: "I'm sorry, I owe it to me to think about today's matter......"

Ning Ye stretched out his hand and scratched the tip of Zhang Shuqiu's nose and said, "You are like this, your true temperament is good, as long as you are not cold to me like before, I think it is better than anything." Besides, if I want to marry you, this scene will have to be experienced once anyway, but it will be sooner or later. Xiaoqiu, in fact, I am very happy in my heart, do you know? ”

Outside, Wang Yiyun had just entered the courtyard when he was stopped by his eighth uncle: "How is it?" ”

"It's not good to say, I don't think Xiaoqiu has much experience in this kind of thing, and it's very messy, but there is one thing, she is really moved."

"How's the people? What's going on at home? ”

"The person is not bad, and Xiaoqiu is quite suitable. His mother is also a professor at our school, surnamed Hu, father, you should see him often. ”

"How often do I see you?"

"Well, in the news. But if people don't mention it, let's not talk about it, you just know it in your heart, and you let your family pay attention to other things. ”

The eighth uncle was stunned, blinked a few times and said, "You said that Xiaoqiu, this child, why is it indistinguishable?" ”

"When people fall in love, they don't come to work, they go home to see an elder, what is not important. If you want me to say, that's how it should be, the pearl of our Wang family, why is it not worthy of him. ”

"Okay, Sixth Sister, I know. As long as the height is appropriate at night, I will arrange a person for each table, and I will go first. ”

"yes, okay. You arrange the two brothers Yunhai and Yunshan to sit next to him," Wang Yiyun pondered for a while and said: "Forget it, I'll sit at that table too, otherwise these children will make trouble, and it won't be good." ”

When the banquet was opened in the evening, there was a table in the main hall of the front hall, and four tables were opened outside, and some of them were late, so they really brought a disposable cup, took a disposable tableware, stood on the side and plugged in the air, and the children shuttled and frolicked in the banquet, which was very lively.

The eighth uncle set up the table, opened the broken gong and shouted: "Today is rare, no New Year's Day, the sixth sister and Xiaoqiu are back together, let's raise a glass first, everything that can be drunk is dry, and those who can't drink are standing on the side to eat......"

Everyone in the courtyard was amused by the eighth uncle's strange brain circuit, laughing, drinking, noisy, laughing, Zhang Shuqiu touched Ning Ye, and he didn't dare to lift his mouth and whispered: "You are safe tonight......" The eighth uncle is setting the tone for tonight's banquet, not a new son-in-law coming to the door, but simply to catch Wang Yiyun and Zhang Shuqiu. The tone is set, and everyone who understands knows what's going on.

Ning Ye naturally understood in his heart, but the mental preparation he had made was in vain, after all, this was said from the other end, that is, the Wang family had not treated him as the son-in-law who came to the door for the first time, so the sincerity had to be even more sufficient. Ning Ye raised his head, held the one or two wine cups, and drank the glass of wine crisply, drinking not a drop left.

Zhang Yunhai heard and saw clearly beside him, he didn't say a word, and accompanied Ning Ye to dry the glass of wine.

The eighth uncle was really decent, he patrolled the table, and everyone took advantage of this moment to eat a few mouthfuls of food and suppress the spicy wine. After the eighth uncle finished patrolling the table, he stood under the headlamp at the door again, and shouted in a voice like a broken gong: "This second glass of wine, there are guests coming to the door today, our Wang family raised a glass to welcome, this wine, it still has to be drunk, come, I will take the lead......" said and put the glass of wine and tilted his neck dry.

Ning Ye stood there, heard what the eighth uncle said, hurriedly stood out from the table, stood next to the eighth uncle, and raised a glass to everyone with a smile: "My surname is Ning, a single name is a Ye character, I am the first time to come to the door, and I ask all the elders and brothers and sisters to bear with me." Then he drank the glass of wine as well.

Everyone at the table finally saw Ning Ye clearly by using the big lamp, some patted the table and applauded, and some followed the glass to drink, and the atmosphere became lively again. Seeing Ning Ye return to his seat, someone coaxed again: "Eighth uncle, today is obviously celebrating Xiaoqiu's singleness, eighth uncle, you can't be partial, it's only right to invite the protagonist out." ”

The eighth uncle made a blank face and said: "You stinky boy, you have to say that we Xiaoqiu can't get married, you can punish yourself first." ”

"Eighth uncle, aren't you partial?"

"Uncle Eighth is right, you kid, talk nonsense again, press the one on the side, pour three cups and send it back." Uncle shouted.

"Okay, okay, can't I drink it myself? The eldest uncle and the eighth uncle are eccentric together. ”

"Tell me to say, it's the same way, you can't say that you're biased, right?" The fourth uncle also stood up.

There were a lot of people sitting next to him, and they coaxed: "If you don't drink honestly, if you don't be honest, we will pour it." ”

The eighth uncle glanced at the person who spoke, and began to raise his voice again: "The elder didn't speak, what are you coaxing?" Come, Xiaoqiu, pick up the wine glass and come to the eighth uncle. ”

Zhang Shuqiu hurriedly took the cup and stood beside the eighth uncle, the heat emitted by the headlamp only made her face red.

"Look at you little ghosts, our little autumn faces are red. It's all in the wine, come, do it......"

Zhang Shuqiu's face turned even redder, and he hurriedly drank the glass of wine, and returned to his seat as if he had escaped. The sister on the seat next to her shouted: "Zhang Shuqiu, you also have today, we don't care about others today, we will take care of you, we must accompany you to drink this wine well, diagnose your shyness disease once, and let you hide in the house and not come out to see people." ”

The eighth uncle looked at Zhang Shuqiu's appearance, and couldn't help laughing, and shouted again: "Okay, you should eat, you should drink, it's not a year, it's not easy to kill a pig, don't waste it, I don't care, you can do it yourself." ”

When the crowd heard this, they cheered and slapped the table. An aunt shouted loudly: "Zhang Shuqiu, you haven't come here yet, waiting for us to toast you?" ”

Ning Ye saw Zhang Shuqiu holding a wine glass and was about to get up, so he hurriedly got up with her, Zhang Yunhai raised his wine glass and said, "Come on, Ning Ye, let's have a drink first." ”

Zhang Shuqiu glanced at Zhang Yunhai gratefully, took the cup and went over to the table full of elders first. Ning Ye knew that this was Zhang Yunhai protecting him, but he just smiled bitterly: "Brother Yunhai, thank you, Xiaoqiu is alone, I ......"

Zhang Yunshan's eyes were as big as copper bells on the side, and he said strangely: "Brother Ning, are you worried about Sister Xiaoqiu?" You're only going to drag her back, and I've never seen her get drunk. ”

"Okay, there's so much nonsense, I don't drink this wine, do I?" Zhang Yunhai was dissatisfied.

"I drink, I drink, Xiaoqiu can really drink so much?" As he spoke, he quickly drank the wine in the cup.

At this table, under the leadership of the sixth aunt, Zhenshan Tai Sui, the lively scene is basically maintained, and the posture of a visitor is maintained.

Ning Ye watched Zhang Shuqiu shuttling between the banquets, supplemented by drinking, and all eighteen kinds of martial arts such as coquettishness, denial, and tyranny were used, which made the audience laugh constantly, and the wine was also extremely enjoyable. Ning Ye was dumbfounded, as if he had forgotten where he was at this time and what situation he was.

The sixth aunt looked at Ning Ye's eyes, and almost always circled around Zhang Shuqiu, and she was in a very happy mood.

When Zhang Shuqiu came back with a wine glass, he was still like a nobody, Zhang Yunshan said softly: "I said it, my sister is alone, and she can reach a bunch of ...... like us."

The sixth aunt smiled: "Your sister is in our Wang family, that is the treasure of the treasures, who is really willing to let her drink too much." ”

"Aunt Yiyun, my sister's ability to go out of the Wang family is also rare in the world." Zhang Yunshan drank a few glasses of wine, and in front of Wang Yiyun, his courage also increased.

"What nonsense, why do you want this ability." Zhang Yunhai glared at Zhang Yunshan Dao.

"Although this ability is of little use to Xiao Qiu, it's better than nothing, right, Xiao Ning." Ning Ye was watching Zhang Shuqiu walking back, when he suddenly heard Wang Yiyun talking, turned the corner to him, and immediately nodded and replied: "Aunt Yiyun, that's it, but we have few families, so we can't use this ability." ”

However, what Ning Ye was thinking at this time was that it turned out that this person, as long as he wanted to get along with others, he could dance with long sleeves and make everyone feel like a spring breeze. Her cold, professional smile is just a mask she has created for herself, for the sake of a sense of distance that is not far away.

Zhang Shuqiu finally returned to her seat, Ning Ye quietly pinched her hand under the table with one hand, and sandwiched the food for her with the other hand: "Hurry up and eat a little, the dishes are cold, you are still hungry." ”

Zhang Shuqiu shook his head, his face was crimson, and he pouted and said, "I'm full, I'm full of chopsticks, I'm already full." As he spoke, he took a finger and gently scratched Ning Ye's palm, which made Ning Ye's heart ripple.

When Ning Ye came back to his senses, Zhang Shuqiu had already wrapped his hands around Aunt Six's arm and began to laugh with Aunt Six: "Aunt Six, do you sleep with me at night?" ”

The sixth aunt glanced at Ning Ye slightly, and said with a smile: "Okay, I haven't taken our Xiaoqiu to sleep for many years, I'm afraid that someone will lose sleep at night." ”

Zhang Shuqiu blushed again when Aunt Liu's words were said, and Aunt Six immediately understood in her heart that these two were now the time to mix oil in honey.

"Sixth aunt, why are you back at this time? When are you leaving? ”

"I'm going to the county tomorrow morning, your sixth grandmother is sick and in the hospital."

Zhang Shuqiu said with a sigh: "I don't know, and I also said that I will find time to see her old man the day after tomorrow, what's wrong, is it serious?" ”

Wang Yiyun shook his head and said: "It's okay, it's just some basic diseases of old age, I'm old, I want to see the child, your tenth uncle can't come back abroad, the old lady cries with me every day, saying that she has no conscience to give birth to a son......

"Hehe, the tenth uncle is the most filial, and the sixth grandmother is coquettish with you."

"That's it, you have time to go see the old lady, I heard that you came back yesterday, I was so happy, I was almost about to come back with me, but your fourth aunt lost her temper, so she didn't follow."

"I said why didn't the fourth aunt come back, then I'll go to see her old man tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll go back early tomorrow morning, just come later......"

At this time, everyone was already busy and drunk, and the eighth uncle shouted in a loud voice: "You are full of food and drink, let's disperse, if you live nearby, leave a few to help clean up." ”

The elders withdrew one after another, and the children were all taken outside to play, the younger generation was very conscious, everyone was orderly, Zhang Yunhai and Zhang Shuqiu all consciously got up to work. Ning Ye looked at it, and also rolled up his sleeves to help. The sixth aunt stopped him and said, "When you come back, you are still a guest, so you don't need to do it." Yunshan, you take Brother Ning back first. ”

After this meal, Ning Ye already understood very clearly that he was not lucky to be drunk today, but because people still treated him as a guest. People treated him politely, but he was bitter in his heart: he was still very good on this road.
