Uncle Ma Yuguang looked at Su Tiantian pouring wine and said, "Among our three families, we only have one girl, Tiantian. She is not only beautiful but also smart. Brother Jie, from now on we will not only be good friends, but also relatives."
Liu Liangjie laughed heartily. "The three of us are all born in the same year. You, Ayu, got married first, marrying Jinyuan's sister Caifen. Now my Jingze has married Tiantian, which is really a perfect match. It's a pity that I don't have a daughter. Otherwise, any of your three sons could marry and we could become in-laws."
Su Jinyuan said, "It's fate that we're now in-laws, Brother Liang. Back then, the three of us were born in the same year. My brother-in-law had two sons, you had one, and I didn't have any children. I was so anxious, but luckily, Tiantian came along. Some people around here still laughed at me for not having a son, but I was so happy to have a daughter. Less than two years later, Zhihao was born, and we had a son and a daughter. At that time, I told myself that I must work hard, because everything is worth it for them."
Ma Yuguang said: "Jinyuan, when Tiantian was born, I envied you. It's true, having a daughter is good. There is someone to cook at home. Tiantian was six years old and she was cooking at the stove every day. I have three sons, you see, and I still have to cook by myself. Fortunately, I have two daughters-in-law now, otherwise I would still have to cook."
Liu Liangjie said, "You have to cook by yourself, but you don't have to drink by yourself. Ask your sons to come. Ayu, where are your three sons? Why don't you ask them to come? My son and Jinyuan's sons are here. If you don't ask your sons to come, you will suffer." Su Tiantian was about to pour the wine when Liu Jingze pressed her hand and said, "Let me pour the wine. You can eat, Tiantian."
Ma Yuguang said, "My wife and eldest son are at work. The factory needs to be watched. I guess my eldest son is still delivering goods. My second son's wife is seven months pregnant. My second son accompanied her to her parents' home to celebrate the Lantern Festival today. I hope to have a granddaughter. If I have a grandson, I will want a granddaughter. My third son, Ma Yiqiang, will be here soon. We will each have a son to drink with. It's fair, right? If I bring three sons, I will be bullying you."
Liu Liangjie drank the wine in the glass in one breath and said provocatively, "You can call all three sons. Who's afraid of who? My Jingze can drink as much as three of them." Li Yunling looked at Liu Jingze sympathetically. No wonder the always high-spirited and confident man just said, "I really can't afford to offend these three grown men." Seeing how Su Tiantian and Su Zhihao didn't seem surprised, it was probably not the first time. This Uncle Liu was a little mean to his sons.
The doorbell rang, and Su Zhihao stood up and said, "I'll go open the door. It's probably my third cousin." Sure enough, it was Ma Yiqiang. When Su Zhihao and Ma Yiqiang walked into the dining room, the four men in the dining room were clinking glasses. When they saw the two, Liu Liangjie said, "Zhihao, Yiqiang, come over and have a drink."
Su Jinyuan said: "Yes, come quickly and have a drink. Come and toast Jingze. From today on, he is your brother-in-law and cousin-in-law. Toast him a few more glasses and tell him not to bully Tiantian in the future."
Liu Jingze felt that he was really wronged: "Father-in-law, how could I bully Tiantian?"
Liu Liangjie said, "Tiantian, don't be afraid. If Jingze bullies you, come find me. Uncle Liu will help you vent your anger. No, it's not Uncle Liu, it should be Dad. Come on, call me Dad."
Although Su Tiantian was a little shy, she raised her glass and stood up and said, "Dad, I'll toast you. I know you have loved me since I was a child." Su Tiantian finished the wine, and Liu Liangjie also drank it contentedly.
Su Zhihao and Ma Yiqiang toasted Liu Jingze under the deep gaze of their respective fathers.
Su Zhihao: "Brother-in-law, you are officially my brother-in-law today. I toast you with this glass."
Ma Yiqiang: "Brother-in-law, isn't the gold bracelet your cousin gave you beautiful? This Valentine's Day gift is worth a drink, right?"
What could Liu Jingze do? Of course he drank it. He still had to give face to his brother-in-law and cousin-in-law, but there were two of them, and one of them had a cup, two against one, which was not fair. Su Tiantian filled him a small half bowl of white rice with a pained look: "Brother Jing, eat some food, it won't be so uncomfortable to drink."
Su Jinyuan said, "Tiantian, get up and give Yiqiang your seat. Let the three of them sit together and drink more conveniently." It turned out that Su Tiantian was to Liu Jingze's right, and Su Zhihao to his left. Now, his wife would sit further away, and his cousin would take her place. Three men from the older generation, drinking with their three sons—isn't that a heartwarming scene? Oh, and there was even someone to pour the wine.
Su Zhihao picked up the wine glass and said, "Sister, you're so worried about your brother-in-law that you don't care about me. Brother-in-law, do you think you should drink this glass of wine?"
Ma Yiqiang swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "Of course, cousin-in-law, I'll toast you too. I wish you and my cousin a happy marriage."
Su Zhihao said, "Brother-in-law, if you drink a few more glasses, my sister will be even more heartbroken."
Hearing this, Li Yunling wanted to cover her mouth and laugh. It turned out that this was the right way to talk when persuading someone to drink. Liu Jingze didn't care that his brother-in-law and cousin were trying to get him to drink. He raised his glass and drank. Su Tiantian looked at his brother and cousin sternly, but they seemed not to notice.
Su Zhihao saw Liu Jingze drink the wine and quickly poured more wine: "Brother-in-law, remember when we were little, you loved to play with my sister the most, and you were not very happy when my sister took me with her. Now you have taken my sister away openly, you must drink this glass of wine."
Seeing Liu Jingze drink up the wine again, it was Ma Yiqiang's turn to pour the wine. He said, "Brother-in-law, I have protected my cousin for many years. You must give me this glass of wine."
Su Tiantian pressed Liu Jingze's wine glass and said, "Let me drink."
Liu Jingze was reluctant to let Su Tiantian drink for him: "I'll drink it."
Ma Yiqiang said, "Brother-in-law, look at my cousin's attitude. This cup is definitely worth drinking, right?"
