Chapter 60: The Flavors of Wine
The next morning, Peng Jiahui received a call from her mother.
"Jiahui, aren't you going home to play today? Your uncle and sister are here, and Xiaowen will be back to the United States next week. ”
"Really? Good. We'll go back later. ”
He Hansheng had just come out of the bathroom.
"Whose phone is it?"
"Grandma Jiejie, today Uncle and they will go to my mother's house, let's go later."
When He Hansheng heard that he went to his mother-in-law's house, he was still a little resistant in his heart.
"Let's go back together, you haven't been to Grandma Jiejie's house for a long time. Mom lent us money a few days ago, so you don't have to thank you. Peng Jiahui urged.
Yes, his father-in-law's family just lent them money, and He Hansheng was still very grateful.
I happened to be resting today, and He Hansheng finally agreed.
"Okay, let's go together."
After packing up, they were ready to go.
Because the uncle also went, they must be driving a luxury car, and He Hansheng didn't want to look too cheap, so he wanted to take a taxi.
"Let's take a taxi, it's still a little cold outside."
"No, let's ride an electric car. It's about a hundred round-trip taxis. ”
"Mom and Dad can't think we're riding an electric car."
"What's the matter?"
"Okay. Listen to you. ”
They're going to ride an electric car.
Although it is already spring, it is cloudy and a little cold today. The warmth of yesterday seemed to be blown away by the cold of the evening at once.
It's about forty minutes away.
He Hansheng parked the electric car in front of the building.
When I entered the house, my father-in-law was not at home, only my mother-in-law was there.
"Mom, where's my dad?"
"Your dad went down to buy cigarettes. Did you come by electric car? ”
"Hmm."
"It's so cold today, just take a taxi. Look at the jelly that froze. Come, Jiejie, grandma hug. ”
Jie Jie has thick eyebrows, big eyes, and is very likable.
"It's all clear, and it's not too cold." Peng Jiahui hurriedly said.
After a while, the father-in-law returned.
"Daddy's back?" He Hansheng hurriedly got up to say hello.
"Hmm. The electric car parked in front of the building belongs to you, right? ”
"Well, yes."
"Go down and push it, your uncle and brother-in-law will stop in a while."
"Okay, Dad."
He Hansheng hurriedly prepared to go downstairs.
"Push farther away, to the west side of the road." The father-in-law instructed.
"Okay."
He Hansheng hurried downstairs.
He was ashamed, and his father-in-law's words were even harsh.
He pushed the electric car to the far west.
In fact, electric vehicles do not occupy much space, and even if they are parked there, it does not affect the parking of two or three vehicles. And the father-in-law's meaning is also obvious, he thinks that the electric car is an eyesore there.
He Hansheng adjusted his mood and returned upstairs.
Because Peng Jiahui wanted to help cook, He Hansheng looked at the child.
The father-in-law sat in front of the coffee table and poured himself a cup of tea and drank it.
"Hansheng, how is your work now?"
"It's okay."
"How much is a month's salary?"
"More than three thousand."
"It's only three thousand. Is it enough for a family of three? Big-man people, you have to think of more ways. ”
"Yes, Dad."
He Hansheng felt very embarrassed, he really didn't open any pot and which pot to mention, the last thing he wanted to talk about now was work and salary.
"Jiahui, your uncle and they will be here in a while, you can go down and pick it up."
"Okay, Dad."
Peng Jiahui untied her apron and hung it on the kitchen shelf.
"Hansheng, let's go together."
Peng Jiahui also felt the awkward atmosphere at home.
"Okay."
He Hansheng hugged Jie Jie and went downstairs with his wife.
The sky was gray, and it looked like it was going to rain.
Soon, two cars stopped in front of the building, one after the other. Wu Xiaowen and her husband got out of the BMW car in front of them first, and her uncle and aunt also got off the Audi car in the back.
"Han Sheng, I'll hold Jiejie, you go and help carry things."
"Okay." He Hansheng gave Jiejie to his wife.
"Uncle, aunt, sister, brother-in-law, you are here. Uncle, I'll carry it. ”
He Hansheng greeted warmly, and took the gift in his uncle's hand one step ahead.
"Han Sheng, also rest today?"
"Well, we also have a holiday in Qingming."
"Uncle, aunt, sister" Peng Jiahui also greeted her.
"Sister Jiahui."
Every time they met, they were so cordial.
"Jay Jie is growing again. The little handsome guy is getting more and more handsome. Wu Xiaowen teased Jiejie.
Wu Xiaowen's husband is of medium stature, with an average appearance, but he is very strong.
"Brother" Wu Xiaowen's husband is also very polite.
"It's a little cold today, let's go upstairs."
Everyone went upstairs together.
As soon as they entered the house, everyone greeted each other again. The atmosphere was noisy, there was talk and laughter, and the cold outside did not affect the house at all.
It's almost time to eat.
Today, the uncle's family is a guest, and He Hansheng is also the host at his father-in-law's house. He wanted to pour tea conveniently and fulfill the friendship of the landlord, so he sat on the sofa next to his father-in-law.
He had just picked up the teapot and was about to pour it when his father-in-law stopped him.
"Hansheng, you sit on the stool after work. I'll just pour the tea. ”
"Okay."
He Hansheng put down the teapot and went to the small stool in front of the coffee table.
When her father-in-law was about to open liquor, Wu Xiaowen's husband hurriedly said, "Uncle, the red wine we brought from the United States today, should we drink this first." ”
"Good. Hansheng, you go open it. ”
"I'd better drive it. This one is not very easy to open. Brother, you can help me get a red wine screwdriver. ”
"Okay."
He Hansheng got up and went to get it.
Wu Xiaowen's husband skillfully opened the wine, "This wine is very famous, and it is as famous as brandy in the United States." ”
"yes, that's a good taste." The father-in-law said appreciatively.
"Brother-in-law, I'll pour it down." He Hansheng looked at the wine and wanted to pour it.
"Han Sheng, let's let your brother-in-law fall."
At this time, He Hansheng had already taken the wine bottle.
"Uncle, it's the same for everyone." Wu Xiaowen's husband gave He Hansheng the opportunity to pour wine.
"Hansheng, if I want to drive, I won't drink." Uncle hurriedly said.
"Uncle, drink less."
"No, your aunt doesn't know how to drive. Let your brother-in-law drink with your dad and you today. ”
"Dad, pour you a glass."
"yes, okay." The father-in-law put the glass forward and made a gesture to protect the wine.
He Hansheng poured the wine, afraid that it would be inconvenient to serve the wine too full, so he stopped when it was almost full.
The father-in-law was still there with his hands stretched out to protect the wine.
"Han Sheng, what's the matter with you, why don't you fall."
"I'm afraid it's too full to serve wine."
"How can you not pour wine full, and if you don't pour it full, others will think that you are reluctant to give people to drink."
"Dad, I'm sorry. Fill it up for you. ”
He Hansheng hurriedly filled the wine glass.
Everyone laughed.
He Hansheng's face flushed with embarrassment, and he felt that his body was sweating.
He Hansheng poured another cup for Wu Xiaowen's husband, and finally filled it for himself.
"Come on, let's eat. Like Xiaowen, she is usually in the United States, and today is rare, so she must eat well. Father-in-law beckoned.
"Okay, thank you, uncle."
"Have you poured all the drinks you don't drink?"
"Uncle, it's all up."
"Come on, let's have a drink." Father-in-law said.
"Okay."
Everyone clinked glasses with wine.
The father-in-law drank it all.
He Hansheng drank half of his drink and put down his wine glass.
"Han Sheng, the first cup must be drunk, you keep half a cup to raise goldfish."
"Yes, yes."
He Hansheng picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
"Xiaowen, your business in the United States is very good." The mother-in-law asked.
"It's good. It's good to do catering now, it's just too busy. ”
He Hansheng got up and poured wine.
"You earn dollars, and you're willing to be busy." Father-in-law interjected.
"Yes, uncle. So I thought I'd ask my parents to go there after a while and help us see the kids. ”
"We went there last year, and we are not used to staying in the United States, so it is better to stay at home." The eldest aunt said.
"You will not know happiness. We wanted to go, but we couldn't. Father-in-law said.
Everyone laughed.
"Come on, drink."
Once again, everyone clinked glasses.
He Hansheng's wine glass was higher than his uncle's drink glass when he clinked glasses.
The father-in-law was angry and put down the wine glass before he could drink it.
"Uncle, why don't you drink it?" Wu Xiaowen asked hurriedly.
"Han Sheng, clink glasses with your elders, how can the wine glass be higher than your uncle's wine glass! Don't you understand this truth? ”
"I understand," He Hansheng hurriedly said.
"I'm still a college student, I think I'm stupid."
"Uncle, I'm sorry. Count me rude, I'll punish myself with a cup. ”
He Hansheng hurriedly poured another glass as a gift wine and drank it all.
"Hansheng, you drink slowly. Big brother, they're all kids, don't be so strict. Uncle hurriedly said.
"Now young people don't have any manners. The last time I drove, there was no one in the co-pilot, and Hansheng actually sat in the back. You think you're a VIP. The father-in-law was angry.
"Dad, I'm sorry, it's my rudeness. I punished myself with a drink. He Hansheng took another drink.
"Why don't you pay so much attention now, you can do everything." The mother-in-law hurriedly said, "Hansheng, drink less." ”
"Mom, I'm fine. My dad should have educated him. ”
The wine is quite strong, and He Hansheng is already drunk. But he can't fall, he has to hold on.
He still poured wine for everyone.
Everyone is still talking and laughing, drinking cup by cup.
Wu Xiaowen's husband drinks a lot of alcohol, and he is still toasting one by one.
The father-in-law also seemed to be getting drunk, his face was flushed, and his speech was a little unclear.
He Han was afraid that his father-in-law would drink too much, so when Wu Xiaowen's husband toasted again, he poured his father-in-law's wine into his wine glass.
"Brother-in-law, my dad will drink more, I'll help my dad drink."
He Hansheng drank half a glass of wine.
"Han Sheng, why did you drink my wine. You call it wine grabbing, you know? Jiahui, open another bottle, Hansheng didn't drink enough! "Father-in-law is here again.
"Dad, I'm afraid you've drunk too much." He Hansheng said busily.
"I didn't drink much. Come, I'll pour you a glass. The father-in-law said and poured another cup for He Hansheng.
"Okay, thank you, Dad."
He Hansheng forced a smile. He tried to tell himself that as long as he didn't get drunk, he would persevere until the end.
A meal, eaten for almost three hours. The dinner is finally over.
Uncle, they're going back.
He Hansheng also sent them downstairs until he saw them drive away.
When he went upstairs, He Hansheng felt a little unconscious. He couldn't help it anymore and threw up at the door of his father-in-law's house.
Peng Jiahui hurriedly helped him into the house, and then cleaned up at the door with a broom and mop.
He Hansheng was lying on the bed, feeling dizzy. The grievances in his stomach turned into hot tears flowing from the corners of his eyes, and he sobbed quietly, not wanting others to hear it.
Father-in-law and mother-in-law also entered the house.
"You, you also know that Han Sheng is not so good at drinking, how can you let him drink so much. Look at how drunk they are. The mother-in-law said distressedly.
"Men, you have to exercise more. It's inevitable to drink and socialize, or how to socialize in the future. ”
"Exercise should also take your time, what if you let him drink so much at once, what if he hurts his body? Na Hui Xiaowen also said that this wine is a strong wine in the United States, and Americans dare not drink a glass at a time. You see how much Han Sheng drank. ”
He Hansheng wanted to vomit again, so he hurriedly ran to the bathroom.
He threw up again at the toilet.
Growing so big, it is the first time He Hansheng has been drunk like this.
My stomach feels like I'm empty, but I still want to vomit. He knelt by the toilet, feeling like he was going to vomit all the gastric juices.
Peng Jiahui gently pounded his back.
"You don't drink that well, why do you drink so much."
"Your dad is not satisfied with me, can I not drink it! As long as I don't die of drinking, I will accompany me to the end. ”
He Hansheng burst into tears, he put down all his pretenses, and began to cry like a child.
Because they didn't go to work tomorrow, the family didn't go back, so they stayed.
One night, He Hansheng got up every two or three hours and threw up, and his whole body was about to collapse. It was also the first time he had seen the power of foreign wine.
Fortunately, Peng Jiahui has been taking care of it. Every time she vomited, Peng Jiahui wiped his face and poured him a glass of honey water to drink.
It wasn't until noon the next day that the strength of the wine slowly dissipated, and He Hansheng slowly got better.
