The more satisfied the Lin family was with Chen Wang, the more enthusiastic they were in urging him to drink at the table.
The bottle of wine that Lin's father took out was soon finished, and then he drank the medicinal wine that Lin's father had brewed.
Chen Wang was fighting against Grandpa Lin, Father Lin, and two elder brothers-in-law, and he was alone against four of them. At the beginning he was not at a disadvantage, but later he found himself unable to stop them.
"Grandpa, Dad, uncle and younger uncle, I'll give you one last toast, and then I'll have dinner. I really can't drink any more, I have to go back in the afternoon!"
Chen Wang raised the remaining half glass of wine and toasted everyone with a smile.
"Why go back today? Continue in the afternoon!"
My brother-in-law Lin Guoqiang was the first to speak up to keep him.
"Yes, don't go back today, stay here for the night!"
Father Lin also spoke in agreement.
"I really can't. My sister is still alone at home. We asked her to stay at home. We are worried if I don't go back."
Chen Wang explained with a wry smile.
Lin Xiuqin on the side also nodded.
After hearing this, the Lin family members could no longer try to persuade them to stay.
"Then drink some more. I see you can hold your liquor quite well. Drink and take a rest before you leave."
My brother-in-law Lin Guodong said.
Chen Wang shook his head and said, "My alcohol tolerance is just like that. Next time we have a chance, you guys can come to my place and we can drink to our heart's content again."
"Okay, we're all family, so it's fine if we drink too much. It's not a good thing to drink too much."
Lin's mother suddenly spoke up and said something on Chen Wang's behalf.
Naturally, Mr. Lin and the others didn't say anything more. They raised their glasses one after another in response to Chen Wang's toast.
"I did it, you guys can do whatever you want."
Chen Wang smiled, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp, then picked up his chopsticks and took a bite of the food to suppress it.
"Awang, if you don't want to drink, just eat two more bowls of rice."
Mother Lin said with a smile.
"Okay!"
Chen Wang agreed with a smile.
On the side, Lin Xiuqin took his bowl, stood up, and quickly served him a bowl of rice.
The Lin family’s staple food is mostly coarse grains.
Today of course it’s steamed rice.
The three children who were not at the table had already eaten two bowls each, and were now gathering together to see whose candy tasted better.
"Mom, I want to eat more!"
Lin Zhiming shouted loudly.
"You just finished your meal, you deserve a beating, right?"
The eldest sister-in-law was eating with a bowl in her hand. She glared at him fiercely when she heard what he said.
Lin Zhiming rolled his eyes and shouted, "If you beat me, can you let me eat?"
"puff!"
Chen Wang, who had just put a big mouthful of rice into his mouth, almost burst out laughing.
"Hahaha……"
My brother-in-law Lin Guoqiang laughed out loud.
My brother-in-law Lin Guodong and my sister-in-law both had embarrassed expressions on their faces, and they felt their hands were itching again after not beating the children for a few days.
In the era before Chen Wang traveled through time, children were treated like treasures. Several people in the family would take good care of them, fearing that they would get sick or fall. They were even more reluctant to hit the children.
It’s different these days, especially for boys, who have to eat fried pork with bamboo shoots every now and then!
He beats the children when they are eating or sleeping, and when he has nothing to do on rainy days, he will find a reason to beat them.
Children who are used to being hit are also tough. They cry loudly when they are hit, but they will start to make noise again after a few minutes.
Feeling the danger in his parents' eyes, Lin Zhiming shrank his head, ran out of the house smartly, and went to play with his friends in the village.
With candy in his pocket and the hunting stories told by his uncle, of course he had to show off to his friends.
After eating and drinking their fill and sitting for a while to rest while drinking tea, Chen Wang and Lin Xiuqin exchanged glances and found an opportunity to stand up and say goodbye.
"Sit for a while, it's still so early!"
My brother-in-law Lin Guoqiang tried to persuade him to stay.
"No, it's already two o'clock. We have to walk a long way back. If we go any later, it will be dark before we get home."
Chen Wang smiled and said.
After hearing this, the Lin family members were reluctant to try to persuade them any further.
"It's better to go back early. Just come back often in the future."
Mr. Lin spoke.
"Awang, wait a moment."
Lin's mother suddenly stood up and hurried to the back room.
After a while, Lin's mother came back with two large cans.
"I don't have anything good at home. Here are some salted duck eggs I pickled myself, and a jar of pickled radish. You can take them back and try them."
"How are you going to let them carry it? They have to walk a long way. Find a basket to carry it!"
Father Lin gave a reminder.
"Yes, yes, yes, look at my brain."
Mother Lin smiled and nodded, then turned and went to the back room, and soon came back with a basket.
Two canning jars fit inside and were just the right size.
"Thank you, Mom. I love these pickled vegetables. They are perfect with some porridge in the morning. Xiuqin must have learned the pickling skills from you, right?"
Chen Wang took the basket and asked with a smile.
The mother-in-law's face suddenly broke into a smile, and she nodded and said, "Of course, I taught her that."
“No wonder it’s so delicious!”
"You, kid, are really good at saying nice things."
"No, no, no, I really like it."
"That's good. Well, I won't keep you here any longer. Go back early!"
"Um!"
Chen Wang responded, then looked around at everyone and called out to them one by one.
"Grandpa, grandma, dad, uncle, sister-in-law, uncle, sister-in-law, we will go back first."
"Oh, okay!"
"Be careful on the road!"
"I'll take you there!"
Everyone in the Lin family warmly saw them out the door and watched them leave.
