Chapter Twenty-Nine: Drinking and Talking

The atmosphere of the farmhouse's dinner was harmonious, and the dim incandescent lights illuminated the figures, swaying in the world of mosquitoes and flies. On the day before the Midyear Festival, a blood-red full moon rose in the east, and the breeze pushed through the remnant clouds and crossed the jade plate. The chirping of insects on summer nights still reverberates happily in the mountain cottages. Wang En's life's work is being discussed under the noses of mosquitoes and flies. Wine is naturally indispensable for such a night, Wang En accompanied his father to raise a glass and drink together, and talked about mulberry and hemp.

"Mom and Dad, Shen Bing and I are going to get married next month," Wang En said with a heavy head shaking his alcohol-anesthetized head.

"I want to have some drink, too!" Shen Bing lowered his head and said in a deep voice. The three pairs of eyes on the table converged on Shen Bing.

"This wine is a bit strong, you will get drunk!" Wang En said kindly to Shen Bing.

"It's just right to get drunk!" Shen Bing replied indifferently.

"Dad, give me the wine bottle" Wang En took the wine bottle handed by Wang Xinghai and poured half a glass of rice wine for Shen Bing. The rice wine in Wang En's hometown is made naturally, and the original distillation technology maintains the intensity of the first pot of wine.

"Half a cup is not enough, pour it full!" Shen Bing said proudly. Wang En filled the wine cup as she commanded.

"Pour me some too!" Ni Fengxia put down the chopsticks in her hand and said.

"What's going on today! Meet friends with wine! Wang Xinghai asked with wide eyes.

"Mom, don't drink it!"

"Why don't you drink it! Pour it for me."

Ni Fengxia's wine glass was also filled with cloudy liquor.

Shen Bing threw his neck back and drank it all, and the crimson of excitement was imprinted on his face. Wang En's father and son, who tasted the wine, looked shocked and surprised.

Ni Fengxia was not to be outdone, leaning her neck and drinking it all.

"You women are really born with half a catty of wine!" Wang Xinghai praised.

"Pour!" Ni Fengxia ordered Wang En. Wang Enwei gave Ni Fengxia and Shen Bing a full weight.

"Uncle, aunt! Wang En and I are fated to meet in the vast sea of people, and we hope that the two elders will be fulfilled. Shen Bing said in the interval between pouring wine and cold field.

"How can we not be perfect! Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and we are very happy about your business! Wang Xinghai took over.

"It can be done! Our family is poor, and we are not as rich as you are in the city. If you dislike us, forget it. We are poor and kiss you a little, but we have backbone. If you don't dislike it, you have to promise that you can't bully Wang En after you settle down in the city in the future. Ni Fengxia said a little-for-tat.

"Auntie said where is it! Although I don't read much, I still know the truth of raising my eyebrows and respecting each other. Shen Bing replied.

"I haven't even written the eight characters yet, how can I talk about settling down!" Wang Enyu pointed at his mother.

"Why did you bring her home without a single character!" Ni Fengxia said.

"Didn't we discuss it with you?" Wang En said a little cowardly.

"Things still have to be done according to etiquette, at least the two old families must meet first and then talk about the wedding in detail!" Wang Xinghai said unhurriedly.

"It's okay to meet, but our family can't get any bride price!" Ni Fengxia then said.

"Uncle, aunt! Our family doesn't want any bride price, as long as Wang En treats me well in the future! ”

"Wang En, will you be good to her?" Ni Fengxia asked Wang En.

"Yes! Mother! You can rest assured! ”

"Uncle, aunt! We'll go back and talk to my parents about it in two days! Make an appointment to sit down and have a good talk! ”

"Don't be too anxious, kid. Wait for a day I will find a gentleman to look at your birthday, choose a good day and then set a date for affinity and marriage, this is a lifetime thing, vague! Wang Xinghai said.

"How long have you known each other?" Ni Fengxia asked.

"It's been half a month!" Wang En replied.

"The time to know each other is a bit short!"

"No matter how long you've known you, it's not like you're going to get married in the end. As long as it fits, it doesn't matter how long it is! Wang Xinghai said in a hurry.

"You know!" Ni Fengxia scolded Wang Xinghai.

"Why don't you understand! We hadn't met at that time, and we weren't married. ”

"Can it be the same then as it is now? Why don't you say that the previous man could have three wives and four concubines. ”

"I don't mean that, I just think that the two children have fate, so why bother with those inconsequential things!"

"I mean let them know each other better, marriage is not a child's play, and when they become a family and find each other's problems, then they can only solve the problem by making noise."

"If you say that, if you don't understand!? We didn't know it before, and it wasn't so many years later. ”

"We can be like other young people! If I weren't sensible, who wouldn't be anxious with you. That is to say, I, a hard-working person, know that I just accept my fate, and I also marry a chicken and a dog and a dog! ”

"I'm a bag, other people's families don't have a bag! I'll punch and kick you when there's nothing to do, you can stand it! ”

"You hit me, how dare you!"

"I said Mom and Dad, stop arguing. Talking about my business, how can it be related to your business! Wang En interrupted his parents' argument.

"Kid, you don't know how much I've endured over the years!" Wang Xinghai made an aggrieved look.

"You still bear with it! Lao Tzu has been a cow and a horse for your family for so many years, and you don't even have a word of thanks, you still bear it! Why don't you look at those capable men who take their wives and children into the city to eat and drink spicy food, which one is not wearing gold and silver, and clothes to reach out for food and open their mouths. What have I said all these years! Ni Fengxia's voice was a little stalky.

"You have to compare, why don't you compare to the president of the country. How knowledgeable are those broad wives of others! ”

"Knowledgeable can work in the field, can cook and wash for you! I can give birth to a few babies for you! ”

"Ouch......... I said stop arguing, okay! This is still in front of Shen Bing! Wang En raised his voice and shouted.

"You yelled at me too! You think I'm having a good time, I'm as tired as a cow all day. Oh! None of you yelled at me if you didn't like it! Ni Fengxia said with tears in her throat.

"Mom! I didn't yell at you! I just told you to stop arguing! What are you arguing about at this age! Aren't you talking about me today! You guys keep arguing! Mine can't be done yet! ”

"You can't do it! I can't take care of it! ”

"Uncle, aunt! I'm full, you eat slowly. I'll go out and breathe! Shen Bing put down the chopsticks in his hand and went out to the courtyard.

"You see, you didn't even get through the door and you threw me in the face, and I don't know how much anger I'm going to have to endure when I get through the door. Wang En, if you marry her in the future, you will live by yourself, don't let me be angry. ”

"Oh my god! I told you not to drink, but you didn't listen, and drank and talked nonsense. Whoever threw you face, didn't people give you a salute when they were full! ”

"It's called giving! The daughter-in-law learned to turn her elbow out before she got married! ”

"Well... Good... I'm sorry for you, I'm going against the grain! You can take care of my affairs if you want to, and if you don't want to close it, forget it. I'll make up my mind! ”

"What do you say! Tomorrow I will go to Mr. to look at the eight characters of your birthday and choose an auspicious day for the zodiac. Wang Xinghai said anxiously again.

"What else to see, it's all like this, it's in vain" Wang En dropped a sentence and ran out of the door.

"You kid, you can't be tough! I wasn't tough when I was young! Why are you like this! Wang Xinghai took a sip of wine.

"You're fucking swearing around the corner! Not like you, you mean like me! You unconscionable wretch. Ni Fengxia, who was sitting opposite, scolded.

"How can I scold you, I just mean this kid!"

"You said it to your face! Who to say now! ”

"That's it! It's all my fault! But the children's affairs, we should also plan and plan when we are old! ”

"If you want to plan, I won't eat salty radishes and worry about it, what will be the good result in the end! It's not that I have a daughter-in-law and forget my mother. ”
