Chapter 38: My skin is itching
The Su family is very lively today.
The eldest son, Su Jingheng, and his wife Wu Jiaojiao went to her parents' home to celebrate his father-in-law's birthday, but there was some unpleasantness and they came back with their children in a rage. The third son, Su Jingrui, worked overtime until noon and didn't have to go to work in the afternoon, so he hurried home to eat.
This meal was of extraordinary significance to the Su family. First, it was to celebrate Su Dajiang's safe passage through the critical period and his recovery. Second, it was a family reunion dinner. Third, Su Dajiang's promotion to the workshop director of Changfeng Machinery Factory had been announced in the factory, and it was a done deal. He just had to wait until he recovered and returned to work.
Wei Guiqin specially prepared a sumptuous meal. She brought Su Hanyan to make pork ribs and carrot soup, and went to the state-owned grocery store to buy a smoked ham, a roast chicken, and stir-fried some green vegetables.
The food on this table is even more sumptuous than any previous New Year’s Eve dinner.
Su Dajiang cannot sit for long periods of time due to physical reasons, so the table is placed next to his bed so that he can lie back when he gets tired of sitting.
"Oh, this is so rare." Wei Guiqin was in a good mood today. She asked Su Jingrui to pour some wine and she wanted to drink a few cups herself. "Except for the second brother's family not coming today, we are almost reunited! I am so happy. Come, let's drink together! Then, each of you can toast your dad."
"My dad can't drink." Su Hanyan saw Su Dajiang holding up the wine cup and advised, "The wound hasn't healed yet, and his body is still weak. The doctor doesn't allow drinking."
"You're the only one who knows the most." No matter how Su Jingrui looked at this girl, he felt that she was not pleasing to the eye. "It's as if you're the only one in the family who loves dad, and none of us do."
"It's okay to drink less, right? Otherwise, Dad can just take a sip?" Su Jingheng knew that if the third brother and the youngest sister faced each other, a fight would be imminent.
If a quarrel really breaks out, I'm afraid we won't be able to enjoy the meal.
"That won't work either." Su Hanyan was very firm. "Dad, you're still taking medicine. What did the doctor say? Mixing medicine and alcohol can easily lead to fatal dangers. So, even taking a sip won't work!"
"Don't give me that!" Su Jingrui slammed the table. "When I had a cold, I took a lot of medicine and drank a lot of alcohol, but I didn't die."
Su Hanyan snorted and laughed: "So that's why your brain is so dull. You don't like to study, and you don't listen to advice. Can you be more knowledgeable than a doctor?"
"Su Hanyan, are you itching? Don't think I dare not hit you! Don't think you have someone to support you just because dad is back!" Su Jingrui shouted loudly.
"Third brother, stop shouting. Look, Tongtong is scared by you." Wu Jiaojiao glared at Su Jingrui with dissatisfaction.
"What are you arguing about?" Su Dajiang frowned, picked up the chopsticks and hit Su Jingrui on the head twice, "Is this how you treat your sister on a daily basis? You are a brother, but you don't know how to love and protect your sister, and you yell at her every day! I think you are the one who is itching."
"I..." Su Jingrui was unconvinced.
"What do you mean?" Su Dajiang's eyes widened, which was absolutely intimidating.
"Alright, alright. You're not feeling well, so don't be angry!" Wei Guiqin calmed her husband down, "They are like this, fighting and playing around, but they still kiss each other, and they don't take it seriously!"
"Not serious?" Su Dajiang snorted. "Then let me ask you, why did Yanyan not live at home and had to live in the factory? Tell me about it."
"Dad, since you mentioned this, let me talk about it." Su Jingrui put down his chopsticks and mentioned his marriage again, "Dad, you also know about Qiu'er and I. While everyone is here today, I want to talk about this."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
