Chapter 61 Feasting with One Heart A glass of wine releases the suspicions
a)
The ground is getting warmer, and it is approaching the Dragon Boat Festival. Chen Meijuan proposed: Before the "Yuliang Sister" went to work in Paitou, the Cai, Li, and Wen families would have another meal in Tongxin Pavilion, one was to see off the younger sister, and the other was to draw a successful end to the good-neighborly relationship between the three families for more than ten years.
That day, in order to prepare for the "concentric banquet" in the evening, Chen Meijuan specially bought some red bean dumplings from the canteen of Jiyang Middle School, cooked a pot of tea eggs by herself, and stewed a new grass duck......
Zhu Yuliang came to Tongxin Pavilion to help as soon as he got off work. She wanted to give Chen Meijuan a hand, but she didn't expect to become a chef again in a few words, and Chen Meijuan gave her a start instead.
Chen Meijuan helped Zhu Yuliang tie her apron, and earnestly instructed: "After you leave Tongxin Pavilion, Lao Cai is thinking about your Shih Tzu tofu and Suzhou dried tofu. You won't be able to cook it for him often in the future, so you can get more of these two dishes tonight, so that he can eat enough! Hehe! ”
After hearing this, Zhu Yuliang laughed and said: "Lao Wen Chacha also likes to eat the Shih Tzu tofu and Suzhou dried tofu I made the most. Brother Zhiguo and I are Jiangsu villagers in the end, and it is normal for him to like to eat the dishes I make; But Lao Wen actually likes to eat sweet and greasy Jiangsu food. ”
"Maybe all men in the world have similar tastes! Otherwise, there would be no famous Trojan War, and there would be no 'rush to the crown and be angry'. Chen Meijuan smiled and continued the conversation.
Zhu Yuliang listened to Chen Meijuan's meaningful words, and suddenly remembered that he had embraced Cai Fuguo a few days ago, and felt very ashamed of the innocent woman in front of him, and couldn't help but blush, feel weak, and embarrassed......
Zhu Yuliang began to doubt his character: "I am not only a sister and a sister to the woman in front of me, but also ambiguous with her man behind my back, and I have to retreat from their son, am I still the noble and steadfast, chivalrous and righteous Zhu Yuliang?" Wrong! I must straighten out these relationships now, and grasp the scale of these relationships accurately in the future, otherwise everyone will soon finish playing; As for the fate of the future, no one can say, so let's wait for the future! ”
After Zhu Yuliang gave himself a reassuring pill, he immediately returned to normalcy and continued to chat with Chen Meijuan while cooperating with cooking.
"Jingle bell", Cai Fuguo rode his bicycle home from work. When he heard that the two beloved women were busy in his kitchen, he whistled to show his good mood. Then, he unloaded the drinks needed for the dinner from the back rack of his bicycle and strode into the house humming a small tune.
"Yuliang is here?" Cai Fuguo greeted casually.
"Well, brother is back?" Zhu Yuliang also replied casually.
"I called Xu Qingpei too, and he will be there later. In this case, seven adults plus Tingting need eight positions, and I will see if the stool is enough. Oh, one less stool, I'll go to the Yuliang House and get one. Cai Fuguo was talking in the living room as he began to set up the tables, chairs and benches.
"Oh!" The two women in the kitchen responded to Cai Fuguo's self-talk in unison, and each other felt warm and funny.
(b)
When the lights first came on, the guests arrived one after another. The earliest to come was naturally Xu Qingpei, he had only been the deputy of the Material Bureau for a few days, and tonight it was the eldest brother and the boss who invited him to a banquet, how could he be late? After a while, Li Fan and his wife also arrived with their beloved daughter Li Ting. But everyone waited left and right, but they didn't see Wen Yuan's figure.
"Lao Wen promised to come, he will not break his promise. Something must be tangled in it! Li Fan saw that everyone was waiting a little anxiously, so he came forward to comfort him.
"A man who is an official just can't help himself! It's still good to be like Lao Li, Emperor Tu, if there is anything at home, you can rush home after locking the office door. Hehe! Although Liu Yuelan's words were joking, fools could hear that she still had a grudge against the past.
Seeing this, Zhu Yuliang said, "Let's wait for him while eating!" Otherwise, the dishes will be cold. ”
"That won't do! The Secretary is also one of the most important guests tonight, how can he not wait? Lao Cai accompanied the guests to drink tea and chat, and I went to wait for Yi on the avenue! After Chen Meijuan finished speaking, she put on a coat and prepared to pick up Wen Yuanfang.
"Sister Meijuan! Then I'll go too. Zhu Yuliang saw the opportunity, so he had to go out with Chen Meijuan to wait for Wen Yuanfang.
After a while, Wen Yuanfang's figure riding a bicycle really appeared in the field of vision of the two women. As soon as he got out of the car, he said, "Ah! I'm sorry to let you eat dust on the road and wait for me! Before leaving, I received a phone call, and a new round of criticism was assigned a task, which is really ......" In addition to the full apology, there was also a sense of helplessness and happiness caused by being valued by the two women in front of him.
"It's good you're here! etc is a must. Chen Meijuan said politely warmly.
Zhu Yuliang lowered his head and said nothing. She obviously hasn't completely let go of the "bastard words" that her husband said last time when he was mad in the compound of the Commercial Bureau, although Wen Yuanfang made a special trip to Liu's house under Li Fan's arrangement and compensated her.
As soon as the guests arrived, the dinner was immediately served.
During the banquet, Wen Yuanfang did not stop the hostess from pouring a full glass for him. He held the wine glass, stood up and said sincerely: "Wen is not strong enough to drink, but today he will desperately toast to your benefactors." Ten years ago, Wen and his beloved wife Yuliang were fortunate to live in Tongxin Pavilion and got to know all their neighbors and leaders; Over the past ten years, it has been all my friends, neighbors, and leaders who have taken care of my wife and children in every possible way, and have repeatedly saved the lives of my entire family in danger...... Everyone here has the grace of reinvention for Wen's family, and Wen has nothing to repay, so he can only drink three cups and talk about gratitude and shame! Wen Mou did it first for respect, everyone is free! After he finished speaking, he tilted his neck and poured a large glass of Shaoxing daughter's red and yellow wine with a "gurgling".
Seeing Director Wen's sincere toast, everyone naturally drank all the wine in the cup.
Zhu Yuliang persuaded her husband to drink less, but after a while, Wen Yuanfang asked his wife to fill it for him. Zhu Yuliang said: "If you can't drink too much, don't drink too much, just get the meaning!" Everybody understands what you mean. ”
"Nope! You have to fill me up, I want to respect Cai Ju alone, I must respect Cai Ju. Wen Yuanfang, who was flushed and slightly drunk, pleaded with his wife, and Zhu Yuliang had to pour him another cup.
Wen Yuanfang shook his body and walked in front of Cai Fuguo with a wine glass. He changed his past attitude of being neither humble nor arrogant, unconvinced and not buying Cai, and said in a rare humble tone: "Wen is a materialist, he doesn't believe in any past life and future life, he only believes in this life. But I also know that there is no wind and no waves, and there is no love without a reason, and there is no hate without a reason.
If there is a past life, if I did something sorry for my brother in my previous life, then please brother in this life must give me a chance to repay my debts and repay my kindness! For God's sake, let us still be men in this life, for the sake of the people we still love together in this life, and for the sake of our deep fate, I hope that my brother will drink the following toast today!
Drinking this glass of wine means that we have a glass of wine to release our previous suspicions, meet each other and hate each other, and it means that there will only be kindness between us in the future, and there will be no hatred. I wonder if Cai Ju can fulfill this ardent wish of Quan Mou? ”
(c)
Wen Yuanfang behaved like this and spoke like this, which surprised everyone for a while, and the atmosphere in the banquet suddenly froze.
Zhu Yuliang thought to himself: "Wen Yuanfang is a non-pastoralist, but his keen intuition finally made him feel that Brother Zhiguo's hatred for him objectively existed, at least once existed; And is there any other explanation for this unprovoked hatred than to bring it from the mother's womb? This time, let's see how Brother Zhiguo reacts. ”
Chen Meijuan thought to herself: "Over the years, Lao Cai has had few opportunities to directly contact Lao Wen, and they have never had a heart-to-heart relationship with each other. Except for the opposition of political views and the secret competition for the sake of 'Zhu Xi Shi', the two have never had a head-on confrontation and conflict. If everyone gets drunk with wine today, we can resolve each other's contradictions and knots, and it will not be in vain for me to hold this 'concentric banquet'. This time, let's see how my husband reacts. ”
Liu Yuelan thought to herself: "Although I haven't revealed to anyone how much Lao Cai cares about Xiao Zhu, people are sensory animals, and Wen Yuanfang finally realized that Lao Cai's naked affection for Xiao Zhu was a heavy landmine that caused the breakdown of his marriage." Today, I want to see what the results of Lao Wen's demining are, and how the two amorous men will turn their rivalry into friendship. Hehe! ”
Li Fan thought to himself: "Love the heart of beauty, and men in the world are the same." Lao Wen's ability to open the skylight and speak brightly today with a humble attitude also reflects his courage and strategy as a manly man. Let's see how Lao Cai will react to it, and see how these two heroes will not fight and not know each other. Ha ha! ”
Xu Qingpei thought to himself: "The challenge of Wen Yuanfang, the eldest brother will have to face sooner or later; The bell still needs to be tied to the bell, and Wen Yuanfang's low profile today will definitely make the eldest brother's heart more balanced. Although I still don't know the cause of the imbalance in my eldest brother's heart, I just hope that my eldest brother can completely let go of certain things from now on! ”
Unexpectedly, when Cai Fuguo heard the word "previous life" come out of Wen Yuanfang's mouth, he suddenly put down the wine glass in his hand and walked quickly to the patio; He looked up at the sky for a moment, then covered his face with his hands, crouched on the ground and sobbed......
Chen Meijuan followed to the patio and asked her husband, "What's wrong with you?" She immediately returned to the house to get a towel, and said to the full table of guests: "He is an emotional person, Lao Wen's words may touch his sadness!" ”
Wen Yuanfang didn't expect Cai Fuguo to have such a reaction. He had to return to his seat with his glass in his hand, looking cramped and complicated like a child who had made a mistake, but fortunately the alcohol blush had masked his embarrassed blush.
He began to feel empty in his stomach, so he frequently sandwiched the dried Suzhou tofu in front of him and ate it; He found that Cai Fuguo also had a plate of the same Suzhou dried tofu in front of his seat. He thought to himself: "Cai Fuguo and I are really fateful, and even I like to eat Suzhou dried tofu made by Yuliang, which is really interesting." ”
Cai Fuguo's abnormal reaction caused an ancient scene to suddenly pass through Wen Yuanfang's mind; In that scene, there was a sad and angry expression that was strikingly similar to the expression that Cai Fuguo showed just now. And who is the owner of this expression? Wen Yuanfang couldn't remember anything.
The rest of the people felt more or less embarrassed and uncomfortable, only Miss Li Ting couldn't understand the inexplicable words and deeds of the adults, so she had to continue to eat by herself. Li Fan and Xu Qingpei took the opportunity to chat about some topics about the Material Bureau without saying a word, trying to dispel their unwarranted grievances with each other.
(iv)
When Cai Fuguo was crying sadly in the patio, an electric current of sadness instantly reached Zhu Yuliang's heart. This made her confirm the fact again: there is a strong telepathy between her and Brother Zhiguo, and the two can almost synchronize joy and sorrow; And the telepathy between her and Wen Yuanfang was much weaker than that. Therefore, Zhu Yuliang couldn't help but walk to the backyard of the Cai family and stand in her guzheng burial place and weep......
Maybe the Dragon Boat Festival was originally a day of mourning, and Liu Yuelan was obviously infected by this parting sorrow. She thought of the situation of herself and her friends around her, and thought that it would not be easy for her sisters to get together in the future, and she couldn't help but moisten her eyes and sigh.
After a while, the Cai couple returned to the table with red eyes and returned to their seats, and Zhu Yuliang also returned to the living room when he heard the sound. Chen Meijuan said: "I'm sorry! Excuse me! Let everyone laugh, fortunately there are no outsiders here. However, since ancient times, everything is human nature. ”
Cai Fuguo has apparently regained his calm. After filling his wine glass, he walked generously to Wen Yuan, and said in a sincere tone: "I listened to all the three things you just said. A glass of wine releases the previous suspicions, and when we meet each other, I hope that the whole world will only have grace and no hatred in the future! Come! Our brothers toast each other! ”
Wen Yuanfang quickly stood up, and after excitedly saying "one word is decided", he touched a ring glass with Cai Fuguo, and then drank a full second glass of rice wine.
After the two large glasses of rice wine were swallowed, Wen Yuanfang's cheeks turned from crimson to a little pale. Zhu Yuliang took away his wine glass without saying a word, and made him a cup of green tea, only letting him eat vegetables and drink tea, and not drinking again.
Wen Yuanfang was obviously drunk. He leaned his head back on the back of the chair and said indistinctly, "I haven't respected Director Xu yet." Oh! It should be Deputy Bureau Xu. Thank you for taking care of my wife for so many years! Thank you for saving me many times...... The whole family's life! I must admit you brother! Also, I want to respect my brother Lao Li and my younger brother and sister Dr. Liu, as well as my brother and sister Teacher Chen......"
"Alright! You have already respected everyone, Deputy Director Xu has received your affection, and everyone has received your affection. If you want to toast, I'll toast you, you can't drink anymore! Zhu Yuliang said that he was about to toast everyone.
Everyone said that the Cultural Bureau had saluted, and it was their turn to toast the Cultural Bureau and Xiao Zhu.
Unexpectedly, Wen Yuanfang suddenly grabbed his wife's hand, and said with tears in his eyes and a tone change: "Yuliang, my wife!" I didn't mean to leave you alone! I have always wanted to be a good husband and father, but I can't help myself. I love you and my daughter, and the sun and the moon testify, so you can forgive me for all kinds of absences I have had with you in the past, forgive me for taking poor care of you, and don't be angry with me anymore, okay? If you don't promise me, I won't let go. ”
This time, it was Wen Yuanfang's turn to make everyone embarrassed and uncomfortable. Zhu Yuliang saw that her husband was very drunk, and knew that he was using wine to get drunk to reveal his heart, so he pretended to be angry and said, "Look! Tell you not to drink so many bars? If I hadn't forgiven you, I would have gone back to Jiangsu a long time ago. ”
Except for Xu Qingpei, everyone knows what Wen Yuanfang's "don't get angry with me" means. Fortunately, Wen Yuanfang's words were also vague, which made Xu Qingpei sound like they were just making trouble and awkward, and they didn't think about divorce at all.
Seeing the opportunity, Li Fan immediately proposed that everyone have a toast together, and said: "After drinking this glass of wine, all the unhappiness between us in the past has come to naught, and there will be only kindness and no hatred left in the future." Do you think it's good? ”
"Good!" Everyone stood up and toasted in unison.
Chen Meijuan suddenly said a word in Russian, and she immediately translated: "This sentence is a Uzbek proverb, which means 'the greatest strength is to work together'".
That night, Xiao Li Ting went home early because she had to take care of her grandmother and do her homework. The four men were so drunk that the three housewives were busy serving them.
It wasn't until late at night that the "Harmony Feast" came to an end.
