Chapter 143 They are old
He drank yesterday and today too, but Su Yue didn't drink too much and had to ride his bike back, so he stopped at the limit.
"Jianhua, let's wait for the third brother to come back and have a good drink some other day. Call your second brother too, and the four of us will have a good drink together."
"Okay, the four of us have never had a drink together before."
Men tend to be a little drunk, and at this time Gu Jianhua and Su Yue were holding hands and talking, being particularly intimate.
Gu Jianhua had served in the army and had a lot to talk about with his brother-in-law. He thought that if they were in the same unit, company, platoon or squad, they might become good comrades.
Su He got along well with her sisters-in-law. She had everything to talk about and could chat with all of them. Her eldest sister-in-law was particularly gentle in her speech, and she spoke slowly and calmly.
"Xiao He, when you have time, bring your two children to our place during the summer vacation..."
"Okay, sister-in-law."
The book says that her sister-in-law came over in person and picked up the two kids to go play with them.
Let’s see when we have time to go and have a stroll with her eldest brother’s troops, or when the two babies are a little older.
The meal lasted for more than an hour. After eating and drinking some tea, my brother and his wife went back.
Let’s get together some other day. Anyway, they won’t leave until after the Chinese New Year, so there’s plenty of time.
My eldest brother and his wife brought a lot of gifts, including clothes for the two babies, cakes and candies, specialties from the Northwest, etc., a big bag of things.
Su Che and Feng Shuning arrived the day before New Year's Eve, and came over after having their New Year's Eve dinner.
"Xiao He, can I go see my parents now?" Feng Shuning said after chatting for a while.
Su He looked at Gu's mother, "Her sister-in-law should go at night. It's too conspicuous now."
The team treated Feng's father and mother no differently from the villagers, and the villagers didn't say anything either. But the educated youth were unsure. Ever since they knew that Feng's father and mother were sent down to the countryside for labor reform, they started to complain that Feng's father and mother's work had become easier.
He suggested to the team leader that Mr. and Mrs. Feng should work in the fields during the day and clean up cow dung at night, saying that this is how capitalism should treat them so that they will reform.
The captain ignored them and gave them a lecture, saying that Father and Mother Feng were good at herding cows and knew some knowledge about raising cattle.
Father and Mother Feng did a great job in delivering cows, providing postpartum care, and sowing seeds.
There is no need to change people's jobs.
The educated youth who made this suggestion was very dissatisfied, but there was nothing he could do. A strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake. If he wanted to eat in Xiangyang Village, he had to listen to the team leader.
They just couldn't get used to it and felt it was unfair. Why did they, the educated youth, have to do heavy farm work every day while people like Feng's father and mother who were sent down to the countryside for labor reform had to do the easy job of herding cattle?
I proposed this to the captain, but he ignored it.
"Okay, I'll go in the evening." Feng Shuning nodded.
Su Che comforted, "We are all here, it will only take a few hours, don't worry."
"Don't worry, your parents are fine, and their lives are no different from those of us villagers."
"The captain assigned them the job of herding cattle, which is easier than working in the fields."
"Well, Auntie is under your care, I'm not worried."
It’s just that she hasn’t seen her parents for several years and misses them terribly.
After waiting for several hours, it finally got dark.
Su Che and Feng Shuning took their son Xiao Chengyao to the home of Feng's father and mother under the guidance of Gu Jianhua.
The moment Feng Shuning saw her parents, tears flowed from her eyes unconsciously. Her parents were old and their hair was white.
Her parents didn't have a single white hair on their heads before, but now most of their hair is white.
She was clearly visible even in candlelight.
"Child, don't cry. Your father and I are fine." Mother Feng wiped the tears from her daughter's face.
Feng Shuning sniffed and turned to greet her son.
"Chengyao, call me grandma."
Xiao Chengyao had only seen his grandparents in photos, and he felt that the grandparents in front of him were different from those in the photos.
"Grandma, grandma."
Xiao Chengyao walked over.
This shout melted the hearts of Feng's father and mother.
"Why."
They agreed.
"Shuning and Xiaoche, have you eaten? Mom stewed chicken."
You have definitely eaten it, but you can eat it again.
"After eating, I'm hungry again." Feng Shuning said.
After hearing this, Feng's mother said, "Please sit down and I will bring it to you."
Today I heard from Mrs. Gu that her daughter and son-in-law have come over, and as soon as Mrs. Feng came back, she cooked rice and stewed chicken.
When the chicken was served on the table, Feng's mother took out the chicken leg and gave it to her grandson first, and then to her daughter and son-in-law.
"Mom, why are there still three chicken legs?" Feng Shuning asked puzzledly while eating the chicken legs.
Father Feng said, "Silly boy, your mother stewed two chickens and there is also a chicken drumstick."
"I can't wrap my mind around this."
Xiao Chengyao, "Mom is a silly child."
"You are stupid."
The family of five chatted until ten o'clock. Before leaving, Father and Mother Feng said, "Kids, we are fine here. Don't worry about us."
Feng Shu felt sad, "Yeah."
Mother Feng said, "We will raise more chickens next year and mail them to you in the winter."
"Okay, mom, the chickens you raise are delicious."
Although I am reluctant, I still have to say goodbye.
"Wife, we can come back every year in the future."
"Um."
"Be good, let's stop crying."
..........
After New Year’s Eve, it’s New Year’s Day. It’s been 71 years.
On the second day of the Chinese New Year, the three brothers-in-law Su Yue, Su Xiao and Su Che, and their brother-in-law Gu Jianhua got together and had a good drink.
It cannot be said that they organized the party, but the Su family, including Su's father and mother, and their four children, had a reunion dinner with their families.
At the end of the meal, there were only four men left at the table.
The four drank a lot of wine and were all drunk.
The third brother Su Che passed away on the fourth day of the New Year, so Su He suggested that they take a family photo on the third day of the New Year.
After all, we don’t know when we will get together again. It will probably be several years later.
Everyone has no objection.
"Tap, tap, tap, take a family photo."
"We have never taken a photo as a family." The second brother Su Xiao smiled foolishly.
Pei Chuwei felt it was simply unbearable to watch. How could her man be so stupid when he was drunk? Among the three brothers, the eldest uncle's eyes were still sharp when he was drunk, like an eagle's, and the younger brother-in-law also had a very shrewd look in his eyes.
Her man looks so stupid and silly when he is drunk.
Pei Chuwei felt that if Su Xiao went out to drink with others like this and got drunk, he would definitely be cheated of money.
"Why do you become stupid after drinking?"
After returning home and lying on the bed, Pei Chuwei muttered something, which Su Xiao heard. He turned around and hugged his wife, "Wife, what am I stupid about?"
"Your man, I'm smart, not stupid at all."
Pei Chuwei couldn't deny it. She felt that her husband was still a little silly and honest. It could be seen from that...that girl named Xu Honglian.
If it were someone else, they would have scolded him long ago, but he didn't.
Come to think of it, she seems to be in the same situation. She was almost cheated by Chen Aimin back then.
hiss!
I wonder if their child will inherit their brain disease.
