Lin Wei said yesterday that there might be a trial class today, so when Zong Shao returned home from the military camp, he asked about the results of the trial class.
"Okay, tentatively scheduled to teach for three months, the salary will be based on the lowest level, twenty-six per month, and other benefits are the same as for regular employees." Lin Wei said as she served the last dish.
The result was as expected, but Zong Shao was very surprised and asked with a smile: "Should we celebrate then?"
Lin Wei paused while wiping her hands: "It's not necessary, it's just a short-term job, and I've already cooked." Nowadays, the way to celebrate is to go out for a meal, but she had already cooked, and it was not realistic to go out for a meal now, it was too wasteful.
"Although it's a short-term job, it's your first job after arriving on the island, so of course it's necessary." Zong Shao said seriously. As for how to celebrate, he asked, "Do you want to drink?"
Lin Wei looked up at him and asked, "What kind of wine do you want to drink?"
"What kind of wine is there at home?" Zong Shao asked, turned around and left the kitchen, searching in the living room.
He rarely drinks at home, and Lin Wei doesn't drink at all, so there is only half a bottle of white wine left in the cupboard, which is left over from cooking. It is 42 degrees, which may be a bit high for Lin Wei.
Zong Shao went out and said, "There's only half a bottle of liquor left at home, and the alcohol content is a bit high. I'm going out to buy some."
Lin Wei was putting the dishes on the dining table: "Really drinking."
Zong Shao nodded and said, "Well, you haven't tasted the wine on the island yet. Today is a good time to try it." He reached out to Lin Wei for money and tickets. As a man who handed over all his private property, he had neither of these two things.
Seeing that he was in high spirits, Lin Wei nodded and said, "Okay, let's drink." She went upstairs to find the ticket and money.
In fact, it was mainly for finding tickets. Although she cut off Zong Shao's private money, she did not really cut him off from money. She usually put some pocket money downstairs, locked it in a cupboard, and put the key on the top of the cupboard so that it would be easy to take when needed.
At the beginning, Zong Shao would get money from here to buy cigarettes. Of course, he would tell Lin Wei before taking the money.
But because he had a wife and children at home, he couldn't smoke when he got home. In addition, when Lin Wei had a physical examination before, she took him to have a lung examination because he smoked and she was worried that he would get lung cancer in the future, so he started to quit smoking.
Originally, Zong Shao was not addicted to smoking, so it should not be difficult for him to quit. However, there were many heavy smokers in the army, and they always had to share cigarettes when they met. If he didn't smoke the cigarettes handed to him, he would have to explain several times, and after explaining, he would be teased, which greatly interfered with his willpower.
Until now, Zong Shao has not been able to completely quit smoking, but he has greatly reduced the amount he smokes to only three or five cigarettes a month. He doesn't have to pay for cigarettes, so he basically doesn't take money from the cupboard. When he needs money, he just asks Lin Wei for it.
In addition to money, she also put the family's food supply book and coal book down there, and from time to time she would put a few meat and seafood tickets in there so that she wouldn't have to go upstairs to get them before buying groceries every day.
The food supply book should not be placed downstairs, as it is an important item. Moreover, as for rice and flour, according to Lin Wei's experience, it can basically be summarized as buying enough for a month, never for half a month, the more the better.
So she usually bought all the food for the whole month at the beginning of the month, and seldom went to the grain station afterwards, so she hardly used the grain book.
But she put the rarely used tickets like industrial tickets and cloth tickets upstairs and went upstairs to find them when she needed them. The same goes for wine tickets. No one in their family drinks, and they occasionally issue two wine tickets, but they are basically left there waiting to expire.
Lin Wei went upstairs and took out the cabinet where she kept her tickets. She found three wine tickets, one of which was indeed expired. The remaining two could buy one and a half kilograms of liquor together.
Lin Wei took all the tickets and had some extra money left, but she still said, "Don't buy too much wine."
Zong Shao agreed to it, but when he came back he brought a bottle of one-pound coconut wine, half a pound of lychee wine, and half a pound of glutinous rice wine. The bottle of coconut wine was bought with tickets, while the lychee wine and glutinous rice wine were both zero-copy wines, which did not require tickets, so he still had half a pound of wine tickets left.
There were also two coconuts. The coconuts were fine, but the wine… Lin Wei asked, “Did you buy too much?”
"Is it a lot?" Zong Shao asked.
Isn’t two kilograms of liquor too much?
Oh yes, although Zong Shao didn't drink often, he had a good alcohol tolerance. When he went to her house on the day of the engagement, he had sex with three men in her family by himself.
But now she was very suspicious that Zong Shao was using the name of celebrating for her to satisfy his own drinking addiction.
Zong Shao explained: "The alcohol content of these wines is not high and the taste is sweet. You can try them all later. Moreover, they are all white wines and can be stored for a long time. Even if you can't finish them today, you can save them for next time." He had considered all these before buying the wines, and he was not spending money recklessly.
Lin Wei also thought this reason was reasonable, so she nodded and said, "Okay, let's drink the bulk wine first, and we'll talk about the bottled wine later." Although the liquor has been stored for a long time, Zong Shaodu said that the alcohol content of this liquor is low, and it will inevitably lose its flavor if stored for a long time.
When serving the dishes and rice, Lin Wei asked the two children who were still playing outside to wash their hands and eat.
Hearing the sound, Mingming skipped into the yard. When he passed the dining table, he saw three bottles on it. He turned around and asked, "Mom, what are these?"
"Liquor."
Mingming pointed at the golden rice wine and said, "Mom, you are lying. This is obviously yellow!"
To buy zero-copy liquor, one had to bring one's own bottle, but Zong Shao didn't bring any with him when he went out. Zhao Li happened to have not gotten off work yet, so she found him two clean, transparent glass bottles.
Lin Wei said: "White wine also has golden color."
"How can white wine be yellow? One is white and the other is yellow, don't you know, mom?" Mingming said, pointing at the bottle of coconut wine, which was white, and then at the glutinous rice wine, which was red.
Lin Wei reached out and tapped her son's forehead and said, "Yes, yes, you are so smart. Even if it is not liquor, it is still wine. You can't drink it, so why are you asking so many questions?"
"I was just asking out of curiosity, I didn't want to drink." Mingming stuck out his tongue and defended himself.
"If you don't want to drink, go wash your hands!" Lin Wei said, putting the food on the table.
Zong Shao also came out with four clean white wine glasses.
Although it is called a white wine glass, the cup in his hand is actually much larger than an ordinary white wine glass, but compared with a normal water glass, it is a bit mini.
The reason why Lin Wei bought it was because it didn’t require a ticket, it was not expensive, and it could be combined with a teapot to form a set, and she could also take it home and use it as a water cup.
But after buying the cups, Lin Wei didn't dare to let her two children use the white wine cups, for fear that they would be careless and drop the cups. Glass products can easily cause cuts when broken, so enamel cups are safer.
In the end, Lin Wei only put out two cups, one for her and Zong Shao, and washed the rest and locked them in the cupboard.
Among the cups that Zong Shao took out was the one that Lin Wei had locked in the cupboard. He took it out, washed it again, and rinsed it with boiled water before using it directly.
Putting down the wine glass, Zong Shao asked, "What kind of wine would you like to drink?"
"It's this yellow rice wine." Lin Wei pointed at the glutinous rice wine and said.
After hearing what Lin Wei said, Mingming muttered to his brother: "I said mom was wrong before." He felt that mom must have realized her mistake, which was why she changed her words and said it was rice wine.
Lin Wei: “…”
Because he didn't know whether Lin Wei would like it, Zong Shao only poured her a little, just enough to cover the bottom of the cup: "Try it first." Then he poured himself half a cup.
Although he clearly said that he didn't want to drink, he couldn't help licking his lips when he saw the golden wine in the transparent glass.
Seeing his son's little expression, Zong Shao said, "You two drink coconut juice." Then he went into the kitchen, took a knife, opened the coconut, and poured the juice into the cup.
Although coconut juice is also delicious, its light color is not very tempting compared to the golden glutinous rice wine.
But she knew clearly that her parents would definitely not let her drink, so she reluctantly looked away, sat on her own stool, picked up her own cup and took a sip.
Lin Wei also picked up the glutinous rice wine and took a sip.
She didn't drink alcohol for any reason other than that she didn't like it. She found beer bitter and white wine spicy. The only thing she thought tasted okay was the rice wine that a colleague brought from his hometown after she joined the Shicheng Cotton Mill. It wasn't as bitter as beer or as spicy as white wine, and had a sweet aftertaste.
This glutinous rice wine is a bit like the yellow wine she had drunk before. It tastes sweet, but not quite the same. It has a slightly sour aftertaste and is more like fruit juice than wine. But Lin Wei had never tasted such juice before, so she couldn't describe it. Anyway, it tasted good.
"How does it taste?" Zong Shao asked.
Lin Wei said: "It tastes good."
"Then give me some more." Zong Shao picked up the bottle and poured more wine for Lin Wei. Then he raised his glass and congratulated her on her new job.
Ruirui listened and raised the coconut juice in his glass, imitating his father to congratulate his mother.
So Mingming was the only one left. He held the cup and didn't really want to congratulate his mother on finding a new job.
When he first heard that his mother had found a new job, he was very happy. He felt that he was about to be liberated. But now he is not so happy because his mother said that she would take him to class with her.
As a result, he not only had to stay in school for four or five classes every day, but also had to continue attending classes when he got home. Compared with before, the study time was doubled!
Alas, life is so hard.
Mingming sighed, raised the coconut juice weakly, and congratulated his mother reluctantly.
Although they were obviously not so willing, the scene was still very joyful. Lin Wei raised her glass, clinked glasses with everyone, and then took a sip of glutinous rice wine.
After drinking the glutinous rice wine, Zong Shao poured Lin Wei half a cup of lychee wine.
The color of lychee wine is a bit similar to coconut juice, of course, it only looks like alcohol. It still tastes like alcohol when you drink it, but the taste is very delicious, and Lin Wei can accept it.
After drinking these two kinds of wine, Lin Wei also began to look forward to coconut wine. She looked at Zong Shao while holding the wine cup.
Zong Shao picked up the bottle of coconut wine, but did not open it directly as she wished. Instead, he deliberately asked, "Didn't you say to finish the bulk wine first?"
Although the alcohol content of the liquor Zong Shao bought was very low, Lin Wei drank half a cup at a time, totaling about two or three taels. Moreover, although everyone in her family can drink a lot, she drinks less and has never practiced, so her alcohol tolerance is not that good. Now she is sitting at the dinner table, looking a little drunk.
However, she was a good drinker and did not go crazy when drunk. But after hearing what Zong Shao said, she pursed her lips unhappily, squinted her eyes and stared at the wine in Zong Shao's hand without saying a word.
But her attitude was clear: she wanted to drink.
Of course, it was Zong Shao who compromised first. He opened the coconut wine and poured Lin Wei a glass of wine that just covered the bottom of the glass.
The coconut wine tasted good too, not too sweet but with a strong coconut aroma. After taking a sip, Lin Wei smacked her lips, feeling it was not enough, so she pushed the glass away.
This time Zong Shao didn't pour her a glass of wine and said, "You are drunk."
"I'm not drunk, I want to drink more." Every drunk person thinks so.
But Lin Wei was different from those people who were drunk and asking for wine. She just lay on the table, blinking her watery eyes at Zong Shao.
The look in her eyes is a bit similar to Mingming's when she's acting coquettishly.
But maybe it was because she had acted too much like a spoiled child that Zong Shao had become immune to it, and when Lin Wei rarely looked at him like that when she was sober, he couldn't resist and poured Lin Wei another glass of coconut wine.
But he did not give up the resistance completely. He struggled a little and said as he poured the wine, "For the last time."
Lin Wei agreed at the time, but forgot about it after drinking. She lay on the table and used two fingers to push the wine glass in front of Zong Shao little by little.
Zong Shao continued to struggle and refused to look her in the eye.
But she changed her strategy and called out again and again: "A Shao."
Lin Wei learned to call Zong Shao like this from Deng Xiangyun. People in Lingnan area call people like this. If they are not familiar, they are called Xsheng, and if they are familiar, they are called AX. Deng Xiangyun called Zhou Jianhai "Ahai".
Lin Wei overheard it and found it interesting, so she learned to call Zong Shao like that.
But she doesn't often call out like that, always feeling it's too intimate. Even if others don't notice, she would feel embarrassed if she called out like that in public.
This name is indeed much more intimate than calling him by his full name, and when she calls him like this, she will unconsciously draw out the voice, which sounds a bit coquettish, but he enjoys it very much.
The first time Zong Shao heard her call him that was in bed. She hugged him tightly, calling him "A Shao" and asking him to go slower.
The result, of course, is that I can't slow down.
Later he deliberately coaxed her to call her Ah Shao, and told her to speak more slowly if she called him. She had been fooled a few times, and when she realized that shouting like that made him particularly excited, she refused to pay any attention to him.
Only during her menstrual period would she deliberately call out this name, stirring up a fire but not being responsible for putting it out.
Every time he saw her smug look, he couldn't help but grit his teeth.
At this time, Zong Shao couldn't help grinding his teeth, but the itch spread from his cochlea to his heart, so he had to surrender again and pour her wine.
But Lin Wei has made her choice now. She doesn’t want coconut wine, she wants glutinous rice wine.
When Zong Shao poured her some wine, she suddenly had an idea and asked, "What do you think it would taste like if we mixed these three kinds of wine together?"
"It might taste terrible," Zong Shao said.
Lin Wei raised the wine glass, looked at the golden wine, shook her head and said, "Forget it, let's not waste food." She took another sip of wine, raised it up and clinked glasses with Zong Shao.
After drinking this glass of wine, Lin Wei did not ask for more.
Because she was drunk, she lay on the dining table, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.
Zong Shao put down his wine glass, stood up, picked up Lin Wei, and said to the two children at the dining table: "Mom is drunk, I'll take her upstairs to rest." After that, he went back to the house.
Mingming supported his chin and looked at their backs, then turned his head and asked his younger brother: "Mom is drunk? Then why is she so quiet?" He had seen drunk people who would make noise and quarrels, which was very different from his mother, so he suspected that his mother was not drunk at all, but fell asleep.
Rarity thought for a moment and said, "Maybe Mom is just this quiet when she's drunk."
Mingming didn't quite understand, so he turned to look at the little bit of glutinous rice wine left in the bottle, licked his lips and said, "The wine must be delicious."
"The wine stinks." Ruirui shook his head. He had smelled it before.
"Durian is still smelly, but you like it." Mingming was very thoughtful. He stood up and walked to where Zong Shao had sat before. He reached out and picked up the bottle of glutinous rice wine. He sniffed it and said with his eyes lit up, "It's not smelly."
Ruirui didn't believe it, and walked up to him with the bottle of wine in her arms: "Smell it, it really doesn't stink."
Ruirui tilted her head to smell it, wrinkled her nose and said, "It doesn't smell good."
Mingming was a little disappointed and started thinking while holding the bottle of wine.
He used to think durian smelled bad, but his younger brother thought durian didn’t smell bad, so durian was delicious. Now he thinks the wine doesn’t smell bad, but his brother said it doesn’t, so… the wine must taste good!
Mingming turned his head and told his brother his theory, giving an example: "Think about it, if the wine didn't taste good, why would mom drink so much?"
Ruirui was convinced and thought: "But... Mom and Dad don't let us drink."
"We'll just drink a little bit, and then put the bottle back. How would mom and dad know?" Obviously, Mingming is well versed in the art of deception.
Ruirui looked at her brother and said, "Then... shall we try it?"
So, when Zong Shao came down from upstairs, what he saw were two little drunkards.
