Chapter 20 Farmhouse Wine
"Little four, this girl's name is Shen ......?" His second uncle asked by Wang En's nickname.
"Second uncle, Shen Bing"
Shen Bing blushed, and the whites of his eyes were as innocent as a few juice-smacking children.
"Oh, Shen Bing. Are you colleagues at the same school? The second uncle said with a wine burp.
"No, Shen Bing is a kindergarten teacher"
"It's all teachers! Educate children in the future to have a set"
Shen Bing's face turned even redder.
"Second uncle, where did you go, it's still early!" Wang En also said with some embarrassment.
"Shen Bing, you're welcome, eat casually, we don't have any good things to entertain in the countryside, but these are pure green foods, and eating them is good for your health, unlike the things in your city that are urged by hormones" The second uncle pointed to the dishes on the table with chopsticks.
"I'll eat, second uncle, don't be too polite, I'm embarrassed to shout" Shen Bing smiled and smiled at Wang En's second uncle.
"Son, is your house from the city?" Wang En's father Wang Xinghai asked.
"Yes, uncle"
"How many brothers and sisters are there at home?"
"I'm the only one"
"Your parents both work in the city, right?"
"My parents were in business"
"The family business must be not small, they all drive cars"
Wang En's mother, Ni Fengxia, walked Wang Xinghai with her hand, "Drink your bar!" You can't stop your mouth with so much food, right? ”
Shen Bing saw Wang En's mother's serious expression and did not answer his father's words.
"Little four, go home, report to the second uncle and report on his performance at school" The second uncle posed as if he was sitting upright.
"There's nothing to say, the teacher just teaches the students well, and he can't achieve anything" Wang En deliberately made his expression look natural, so that no one could see his sadness in school this year.
"How can you say that! As the so-called high school is a teacher, the body is a model, ten years of trees, a hundred years of people, you don't underestimate the teacher industry, isn't there a saying, what kind of engineer is your teacher! I don't have a good memory, I can't say it."
"You're talking about 'Soul Engineer'!" Shen Bing interjected.
"Oh! Right...... ...... to the
"Second uncle, to put it this way, our current teaching is nothing more than reading from the book and completing the teaching task according to the textbook, not as noble as you said" Wang En tried his best to show the humility that people think.
"You kid, I can tell from you that you're not in the right frame of mind. How can a person who does not respect his profession do a good job! You are like me, you have worked as a branch secretary in the village for so many years, if you don't have the cultivation of Communist Party members, can you do so many things for the villagers! If I didn't have the right mentality, I might have already made no distinction between public and private, and I would have filled my pockets, so wouldn't it be a discredit to the family to enter the class room if something went wrong! ”
"Second uncle, what you said is true, how can my consciousness be compared with you, an old party member, and you will educate me more in the future."
"You're really right about this, I remember that when you were a child, you helped my family herd cattle, and you had a meal every day, and I didn't tell you everything I knew when I ate, if you didn't have me, you kid could be so promising, you said yes, sister-in-law!" The second uncle looked at Ni Fengxia with a smile on his face.
"What his second uncle said is that without your education, the fourth child really can't read." Ni Fengxia responded.
Wang En's third brother-in-law also drank, the third sister's wife was short, her facial features were relatively compact, her flat nose completely exposed the two nostrils on her face, a line of treacherous and cunning eyes under her bulging eyelids, and her thin lips showed her ability to speak well and stubbornly. The other two brothers-in-law don't smoke or drink.
The third brother-in-law put a peanut in his mouth, picked up the wine glass and naturally took Ni Fengxia's words, some people are born to seize the opportunity when they speak, resolve the embarrassment when they are embarrassed, and quickly round the field when they are cold, and others can still be grateful and admired from the bottom of their hearts after a false alarm. This innate energy is combined to be eloquence, wit, and strain.
"I said second uncle, the wine is cold, and I can't stand it just talking without drinking! Come and take a bite to moisten your throat."
"Yes, yes, bet, bet. Drink and chat, our two uncles and nephews haven't drunk for a long time, and I'm going to drink happily today."
The atmosphere became casual and harmonious again.
"Come, little four, big brother together," the second uncle continued.
The cloudy rice wine glows with white rice flowers in the transparent plastic glass, and the white rice flowers mixed with the liquor flow down the mouth of the inclined glass, and the sediment at the bottom of the glass sways in the last trace of the liquor. The third brother-in-law lifted the wine bottle and poured wine into the second uncle's wine glass, after pouring the second uncle's wine glass, the third brother-in-law respectfully toasted to Wang En's father and his father-in-law, Wang Xinghai covered the wine glass with the palm of one hand and leaned sideways, and the other hand lazily bent and stretched out his five fingers in front of his face, swinging "I can't drink, you drink" In this process, his eyes swept to Ni Fengxia next to him.
Wang En also filled the cup, the wine had already begun to rise, he used his stiff tongue to be very friendly and commanding to her sisters and Shen Bing, "Sister, you take Shen Bing out for a walk." Shen Bing, you and your sister will go around, and I will accompany the second uncle and the third brother-in-law to drink for a while. I'm tired of driving today, go relax and relax. After speaking, Wang En slapped Shen Bing's thigh. Shen Bing could feel Wang En's feelings after a long absence from his family. Wang En's action of slapping Shen Bing's leg with the strength of the wine released a signal of concern, caressing, and closeness.
Shen Bing's eyes met with Wang En's sisters and then got up, she used a gentle voice to persuade Wang En, "Drink less", "I know, it's okay at home," Wang En replied.
Shen Bing followed Wang En's three sisters around the courtyard a few times and then sat in the courtyard to cool off, the setting sun still dragging the tail of the last ray of light in the blood-red sky. Four children were playing around them. Wang En's three sisters and Shen Bing looked at each other's figures, clothes and temperament, and talked about the topics between women, of course, there were more topics between Wang En's three sisters.
Wang En's mother, Ni Fengxia, wore an apron and touched between the dining table and the kitchen, and the two brothers-in-law who didn't drink also echoed the excitement between the wine tables. Wang En's second uncle Wang Xingxi was full of wine, and grabbed Wang Xinghai and nodded and said endlessly.
"Little Four, how long have you known this girl?" The third brother-in-law, Lu Qian, asked.
"Not long!"
"It didn't take long to bring it home, are you going to talk about marriage!"
"Huh! It's hard to say about this, but I actually want to tell my parents about it when I come back this time, but I consider that the two of them have known each other for too short a time and don't know each other very well, and I'm afraid that I won't have an emotional foundation in the future. Wang En said to Lu Qian seriously, and the eldest brother-in-law and second brother-in-law also leaned over and listened carefully with their ears pulled.
"You're not too young, you should think about it"
"Yes! I'm conflicted! ”
"It looks like 27 this year, right?"
"It's going to be 28 next month"
"That's if you have a job, if you don't have a job, there are two or three children of your age in the countryside."
"Not really!"
"Have you asked Shen Bing what he meant? Do his parents know about your friends? ”
"Her parents are also quite urgent."
"That's the end of it. Take a time to arrange a meeting between the two old people, and the matter will be finalized."
"I'll talk about it in a few days. I'm tired of revising papers these days, so I'll rest for a few days first. ”
"Come, drink" Lu Qian picked up his wine glass and persuaded his second uncle and Wang En to drink.
"Come on...... Drink. Today...... The junior brought his girlfriend home...... Happy," Wang Xingxi said intermittently, pulling his tongue back as hard as he could.
