When Xiuyuan arrived home, his parents had already gone to bed, so he went to his room to rest as well.
The next day was the weekend and there was no need to go to work. Xiuyuan didn't get up until around nine in the morning.
Originally, Xiuyuan thought his parents were not at home, but he didn't expect that his father and mother were chatting in the living room, and they were packing as if they were going out.
"Xiuyuan, you've gotten up. Your mother and I didn't call you because we thought you were tired from work, so we wanted you to rest for a while." Jianguo said with a smile.
"It's okay, I'm not tired. Are you going out? Do you have something to do today?" Xiuyuan asked in confusion.
"Well, your aunt's house is warming up the house today, come over and have some drinks."
Upon hearing this, Xiuyuan remembered that his father had mentioned this matter before. His father had three siblings, an older sister and a younger sister. His eldest aunt's family also lived in the county town. His eldest uncle was also a man with rich experience. He drove a truck, traded coal, and contracted a canteen. He had been struggling for many years but did not make much money. However, he settled down in the past two years and started working in fruit wholesale. He saved some money and bought a house this year. He had been renting a house before.
"Xiuyuan, if you have nothing to do, let's go to the banquet together." Zhang Qiuhe said to her son. The reason why the couple did not go out was to wait for Xiuyuan.
Xiuyuan nodded, went to the room to tidy up briefly, and left with his parents.
The eldest aunt's house was not far from Xiuyuan's house, and the family arrived quickly by bus. It was Xiuyuan's first time to visit the newly bought house, and the house was still very lively. The eldest aunt Simin was very happy to see her brother's family coming, and she pulled Xiuyuan to sit down.
Since he was a child, the two aunts have been very kind to Xiuyuan. After all, if you count it, Xiuyuan is the only son of the third generation of the old Xiuyuan family.
Soon, younger aunt Siqin and her family also arrived. Xiuyuan had a good relationship with several cousins and they chatted casually. During lunch, eldest aunt Simin forced Xiuyuan to sit at the main table, but the other cousins did not receive this treatment.
Xiuyuan declined several times, but it was no use. My aunt has always been like this, quite traditional. She always felt that Xiuyuan was a nephew from her mother's side and the only son in the family for three generations.
Xiuyuan and other cousins have also gotten used to it.
Although Xiuyuan wasn't sitting at the main table, he didn't say much. He mostly just listened to the adults chatting. The most animated person at the main table was his uncle, Song Limin. After three rounds of drinks, he started bragging about who he knew, who he knew, and what he had done in the past...
This is not only because today's business is at my aunt's house, but also because my uncle Song Liming always controls the topic during the usual gatherings during the holidays. When my uncle was young, he traveled all over the country. Although he did not make much money, he was relatively knowledgeable and knew many people. When it came to the gossip in the county, he could talk endlessly.
Originally, Xiuyuan didn't care, as he was used to his uncle being like this.
In fact, if we follow Lin Yutang's summary of the "Ten Social Vulgarities," if you have ten cents in your pocket, you will shake your clothes and make a sound; if you talk to others, you will always mention your relatives; if you meet a beautiful woman, you will rush to get into bed with her...
He must have the second one. Every time he spoke to others, he would talk about his noble relatives and often said that he knew a certain important person in the county. When he talked about the gossip about these important people, he was also very vivid and colorful, as if he was there at the scene.
Xiuyuan was used to this, but when his uncle Song Liming talked about someone, Xiuyuan suddenly became serious.
