The full wine glass in front of him, tilting his neck, threw it all into his mouth.

For the first time, he felt humiliated.

Before he was put off, he was cut or scolded by others, not only would he not be angry, but he would also consciously find the reason from himself, and the smiling face was not compensated by others, as for the brother-in-law and brother-in-law to clean up themselves, it was even more natural.

He hadn't read Ah Q, or even heard of it.

But it doesn't prevent him from saying like Ah Q, "I was finally beaten by my son, and the world is really not decent now......"

So he went away satisfied, victorious.

No matter how angry he is, he will never show it on his face like he does now.

In that case, it is even more embarrassing, he will not give others a chance to gloat.

However, since his son's appearance, he has another layer of understanding of "face".

Today is different from the past, the more social status he has, the more strict he has to be with himself, increase his ranks, not only the grade of tobacco and alcohol has to be improved, but even the emphasis on talking to others has also changed.

No one has the opportunity to talk to him.

In Ping'an Town, he is a good person, he is listened to, happy to listen, left and right.

Well, before the Spring Festival is over, their brother-in-law has broken the scene he carefully created, can his heart not drip blood?

"Drink less and wait until the wound is clear." It's still the old lady who feels the most sorry for her son, if it weren't for the grandchildren to stop her, she would have to go to Tao's house to talk, it's too bad.

"What can you do without drinking?"

Change the one who doesn't speak, and the one who shouldn't say the nagging one that shouldn't be.

Ling Daikun, who was already unhappy, had a strong choking taste in his words.

The old lady blinked her eyes, and the tears of grievance were about to fall.

"You're a person, shut up if you can't speak." Huang Liyu disliked Ling Daikun's words were neither light nor serious, and hurriedly comforted the glass-hearted old lady and said, "Mom, don't worry about him, he is such a fool, he never speaks more than his brain." ”

The old lady refused the paper towel handed by her daughter-in-law, took out an embroidered handkerchief from her pocket, and wiped the corners of her eyes herself.

The daughter-in-law said this about her son, she was very unhappy, but it was not easy to show it, so she could only do a silent struggle.

"Come, old lady, pick up the red wine in your glass and go for one." The third child clinked glasses with the old lady with a cup full of white wine.

"Drunk, you care?" The old lady received the attention of her grandson and smiled happily.

"Red wine, no degree, drunk, I'll carry you back, what a big deal." The third child said refreshmently.

The old lady is like a child, very coaxing.

"Bitter." The old lady took a sip and gave what she thought was a pertinent evaluation.

"Drink a little more, then?" The fourth child also raised his cup.

"You are pure-hearted, you really want to get me drunk." The old lady laughed and scolded, and the unhappiness just now finally dissipated.

"Drink, drink, children." Wang Anming said on the side.

"You can follow suit." The old lady said so, but continued to take a sip.

Huang Liyu and Chen Weiwei had fun, and they also stood up one by one to clink glasses with the old lady.

The family comes and goes, so it's not harmonious.

"Let's go one too?" Ling Er also raised his glass with Ling Daikun.

"Another bottle?" Ling Daikun shook the liquor bottle in his hand after drinking.

"Then I'll open it." Ling Er got up and opened another bottle from the cabinet.

"I'll have a drink too." The fourth child drank a glass of red wine, felt a little tasteless, and handed the cup to the eldest brother.

"You girl, you join in the fun, the degree is fierce, a girl's family." The old lady dissuaded Ling Er from pouring liquor for the fourth.

"Don't, milk, now men and women are equal." The fourth child still insisted that the eldest brother pour himself wine, "No one stipulates that girls can't drink liquor." ”

"you." The old lady kept covering the hem of her gown, which was specially used to put on a padded jacket, although it was not snowing, it was very dry and cold, and the wind outside kept pouring into the house.

Her legs couldn't stand it, and she hoped that the hem of her clothes would block out a little wind.

"I bought you so many down jackets, and said to keep them for the New Year, and you won't wear them for the New Year." The fourth child saw it in his eyes and complained to the old lady.

"There is no jacket that is tight and fluttering on the body." The old lady said.

"It's you." After the fourth child finished speaking, seeing that the boss still didn't pour him wine, his hand raising the glass was about to stiffen, and urged, "Hurry up, pour me full." ”

"It's good to have a good time during the New Year." Ling Er poured the cup sent by the fourth child to the full, and then poured it for Ling Daikun and the third child.

This bottle of wine, the four of them didn't have much effort, and drank it cleanly.

didn't need everyone to say hello, the third child opened another bottle.

"Your little calf's alcohol has gone up?" Ling Daikun was very confident that he could drink Ling Er back and forth, but in the face of his younger son, he was not so sure, it seemed that the younger son's alcohol consumption was still above him.

Last night, the youngest son drank and drank Ling Long, Ling Song, Ling Hu and a few other brothers alone.

has his own style back then, and when he was about to express his gratification, his youngest son came over and made him half angry.

"Generally average, just a little better than you." The third said unceremoniously.

"What kind of alcohol do you drink, compared to Lao Tzu?" Ling Daikun's angry three corpses jumped violently, no matter the past and present, whether it was good or bad, as long as he picked up the wine glass on the wine table, no one dared to brag about this cowhide in front of him!

His nickname "Wine Halo" didn't come for nothing!

In the wine bureau of Ping'an Town, he can walk sideways!

Anyone who has the illusion that he can drink to win him and challenge him will be knocked down by him.

He always thought that he could enjoy his old age with this nickname and reminisce about the glory of the past.

However, he guessed the beginning, not the end.

Now, who else dares to challenge him?

You can't even kiss your son!

"It's useless to just train your mouth." The third child is very happy today.

"Little calf." Ling Daikun reached out to the coffee table next to him and took two bottles one after another, one for himself and one for his son.

The two of them drank together, and no one stopped them.

Huang Liyu and the old lady and others began to close the table, leaving only peanuts and cucumbers for the two of them.

When Ling Long, Ling Hu and the others brought their children to bid farewell to the old lady and the old man, the two of them were still drinking.

The two of them had already drunk about a pound and a half alone, and the sorrow in Ling Daikun's heart suddenly replaced the humiliation in the afternoon, he was really old.

In the Youth Club, although he has no money, but when he catches up with the red and white ceremonies, he can kill more than four catties alone.

I never know what vomiting and satiety are, no matter what the situation is, after running to the toilet twice, come back and chew two peanuts to finish it, go home and lie down, and wake up a good man.

Looking at his little son who didn't change his face, he wanted to admit defeat and couldn't pull off that face......

Gritted his teeth and poured another cup, two or two cups, not a drop left, no matter what, he couldn't lose to his son in momentum.

Ling Er went to the courtyard to take a slush, looked at Ling Daikun, who was red-faced, and secretly poked the third child.

The third child sighed helplessly, his eldest is good at everything, but his heart is too soft, according to his own ideas, he has to kill his old man's sharpness.

"No, I can't drink anymore." The third child patted his belly and hiccuped, "It's over?" ”

"If you can't drink it, don't drink it." Ling Daikun's head was dizzy, and he didn't dare to sell cheaply anymore.

He knew in his heart that his son would let him.

It's okay, it's okay, as long as the prestige of his "wine dizziness" doesn't fall.

After running to the toilet, I rubbed my feet twice in the footbasin brought by Huang Liyu, and fell asleep on the bed.

"Don't mess with him." Ling Er said to the third elder.

The third child smiled and said, "It's also for his good, don't be vigilant every day, drink an alcoholic liver in the morning and evening, let him drink a good meal, let him serve the old, and drink less in the future." ”

The kettle on the kitchen stove whistled incessantly, and the lid croaked by the boiling water.

He lifted the kettle to fill the water bottle, and then carried the water bottle to refill the cups of Ling Hu and the others in the living room.

Ling Er didn't enter the house, he stood at the door, staring at a group of bear children who were setting off fireworks there, and didn't pay attention to poking them in the eyes.

Ling Long walked over, put the teacup in his hand on the windowsill next to him, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it for Ling Er first, and then lit it for himself, and asked with a smile, "When are you leaving after the festival?" ”

"Look at when the eldest sister will leave, with them, she is in a hurry to open the supermarket, and it is estimated that she will not stay long." Originally, they came back early for the holiday, so that the younger sister who didn't go home during the Spring Festival was less than one person to watch the store, and the eldest sister must not be at ease.

When did you go to my father-in-law's house? ”

"It's the third year of junior high school, the weather forecast says there is still snow, it depends on the situation, I'm afraid the road conditions are not good." Ling Long said as he puffed out a smoke ring.

"Go to Henan and enter Fuyang, it's more convenient over there." Ling Erdao.

"You know, that's how it went last year." Ling Long took his daughter-in-law and son to his father-in-law's house every year.

The fireworks set up by the Ling family attracted more and more children to gather here, and if you count them casually, there are more than 20 of them, chirping, and it is very lively.

Further back, with most families being only children, it was not easy to see so many children in the village.

The fourth child came out with a big bag of chocolate candy, opened his pocket, and grabbed it casually, some of them were not polite, and they didn't grab enough handfuls, so they desperately stuffed them into their inner and outer pockets.

The fourth child smiled and did not restrain them, and she took the initiative to help them catch those who were thin-skinned and shy.

When she was a child, she was most happy about the New Year, and before the New Year, she couldn't eat sugar.

Many children came last and didn't see the fireworks, Ling Er picked up the children and went into the house to move the fireworks, the children didn't know what moderation was, the fireworks were piled up high in the house, crackling, and it didn't take long for them to be all lit.

After the commotion, Ling Er played cards with Ling Hu and the others again, and fell asleep at one o'clock in the morning.

From the beginning of the junior high school, Ling Long was the first to call for dinner, followed by the Qiu family brothers, Pan Youcheng and others.

By the fourth day of junior high school, it was arranged by Wang Gang again, no matter what, Ling Er refused to take another sip of wine, and let the third child drink it instead.

Standing at the door of the Wang family, looking back at the house, he was still staggered, this time the third child met an opponent, and Qiu Shaoliang's alcohol consumption was not below him.

"You really don't drink at all now, do you?" When Ling Er wasn't paying attention, Wang Gang stood next to him.

"I can't drink it, how can I drink it every day, your home has a good environment, the front is a business shop, and the back is a house." In the town, the Wang family has always been a typical example of successful people.

"We can't live in the old couple." Wang Gang got mixed up, supported all his two sisters, bought a house in the provincial capital, and settled down.

Ling Er followed him for a while, always feeling that he had something to say, but it seemed to be a little difficult to speak.

In the end, he said angrily, "You have something to say, what else can we hide?" ”

"I don't know whether to say it or not." Wang Gang was embarrassed.

"Something to do with me?" Ling Er asked.

"Yes." Wang Gang nodded.

"Then let's say it, don't say it now, I know it later, and you'll be in trouble." Ling Er quipped.

"In the morning I rode my motorcycle past the grain station and seemed to see .... I wasn't sure, I hadn't seen him for years, but I finally asked my mom and he said he came back last afternoon. Wang Gang stubbornly spoke, but he still only said half of it.

"Grain station?" Wang Gang didn't finish speaking, and Ling Er could also understand the general situation.

Her grandmother is the accountant of the grain station, and it turned out that after her grandfather's house in the town was given to her eldest son Tao Chenghua, the old couple lived in the family home of the grain station.

"Well, a boy in one hand and a girl in the other, they look like they are both eight or nine years old." Wang Gang said as he looked at Ling Er's expression.

"Hmm." Ling Er puffed out a puff of cigarette, he didn't remember that there was such a thing as the old lady returning to her hometown, probably because Ling Daikun was also newly married, and the old lady dared to come back.

"I heard that the man is doing greening, and he is doing very well in Pujiang, and he has a house and a car on Longwu Road." Wang Gang said.

"Hmm." Ling Er smiled and said, "Each has its own life, so you don't have to worry about it." ”

He didn't say anything about his mother's return, but he didn't hide it from anyone in the family.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, after a heavy snowfall, the old lady had a high fever and was sent to the nearest town hospital.

The Ling family gathered at the gate of the hospital, and Ling Er happened to see the old lady who came to the hospital to get cold medicine for the child, and next to him was a man who was not tall.

None of the Ling family, including Ling Daikun, opened their mouths to say hello.

Not only Tao Chengyun was nervous to death, but Ling Daikun drooped his head and didn't dare to say anything, Huang Liyu was next to him, if he wanted to die and make some moths out, his future life would not be good.

Tao Chengyun wanted to go back the same way too late, not to mention that in front of his current husband, he couldn't find an excuse to turn around and leave.

She's so nervous that she's going to die, it's best to have a son, a daughter, don't bother with her.

She cautiously walked up the steps and walked through the gate, when the people of the Ling family were already behind her, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After taking her son's temperature and taking some cold medicine, she first used the excuse of going to the toilet, and next to the toilet was the back door, and walked directly through the back door.

"There's a need to be so scared." The eldest aunt couldn't help but mutter.

Ling Daikun was weak-hearted, and pulled Huang Liyu into the ward to see the old lady.

At this moment, the Ling family can finally speak freely.
