"And my son Congwen is the class monitor. It's four good things happening at the same time." Zhang Xinlan blurted out, reminding her mother-in-law.
Wu Guixiang looked at her speechlessly and endured it. "Okay, four happy events."
"So, Xiaoqiu, don't leave. Stay home. Let's just have a simple meal today. The main meal will be tomorrow."
He Qiu suddenly realized. No wonder she saw so much meat, fish and other things in the house just now. She thought they were New Year's goods. It turned out that they were the ingredients needed for tomorrow's banquet.
But this...
He Qiu and Ji Yu looked at each other, still a little hesitant. Would it be too disturbing?
"Yes, Sister Qiu, Brother Yu, the weather is unpredictable now. It might snow again soon. It's not safe for you to go back at night." Su Aimin said.
Qin Ying directly took He Qiu's hand and said, "Sister Qiuqiu, you two should stay here. Let's sleep together tonight and have a good chat."
"Okay." Seeing Qin Ying's pleading eyes, He Qiu's heart softened and she agreed. She hadn't seen her for so long, and she had a lot to say to Yingzi.
"That's great!" Qin Ying looked delighted.
Su Aimin and Ji Yu, who were inexplicably abandoned by their wives: "..." What's going on?
"That's settled then!" Wu Guixiang smiled and called everyone, "Eat, eat."
Su Aimin poured wine for several grown men. This wine was a good wine that he had specially brought back. He opened the packaging and put it in a wine pot. Everyone in the family thought it was the kind of grain wine bought in the town.
"Brother Yu, try this wine." Su Aimin said with a smile.
Ji Yu usually drinks less, but he was happy today, so he drank a little. After he picked up the cup and tasted some, he looked at Su Aimin with a deep look in his eyes.
He rarely drinks, but that doesn't mean he doesn't understand wine. He knew the wine was not cheap the moment he tasted it. Yingzi's lover has a wide range of choices.
Su Aimin didn't notice the change in his eyes. After pouring wine for his family, he looked at Ji Yue and said, "Xiao Yue, would you like a drink?"
"Uncle, I don't want to drink..."
"You're a grown man now, it's time to drink something." Su Aimin interrupted him directly.
He Qiu also smiled and said, "Ayue, you are an adult now. It's okay if you want to drink a little." She was not a conservative parent, and there was no rule in her family that forbade drinking.
Ji Yue paused and nodded, "Okay, uncle, I'll drink less."
Su Aimin smiled and immediately poured him a full glass.
Su Qingyun looked at the wine in front of Ji Yue and remained silent. Was her father really not deliberately making fun of Ji Yue?
"By the way, I just made some ginger tea with brown sugar. Since we don't drink alcohol, we can drink tea instead of alcohol to warm our bodies." Li Xiu Lian suddenly remembered, ran back to the kitchen, brought out a large kettle, and poured a cup for each of the non-drinkers.
Su Dalin looked at the whole family and smiled with satisfaction. He raised his glass and said, "Come on, let's toast together!"
"Happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year!"
Everyone clinked their glasses together, making crisp sounds. The women drank ginger tea and felt warm all over. The men took a sip of wine and savored the taste.
"Good wine!" Su Dalin exclaimed.
Su Aiguo asked, "Third brother, your wine is really good. Where did you get it?"
"It's the grain wine shop in town." Su Aimin laughed and said perfunctorily.
Ji Yu smiled but said nothing.
Su Qingyun watched Ji Yue take a sip of wine, and his fair face and neck turned red. She was a little worried, "Why don't you just stop drinking?"
"It's okay, just a little bit." Ji Yue shook his head.
Su Aimin looked at him and squinted his eyes. "Come on, everyone, eat some food first, then drink some."
"This cup is for Yunyun and Aying, and of course, Ayue. Congratulations on getting into university!"
Let’s clink our glasses.
"This cup is to wish you a happy birthday in advance!"
Everyone clinked glasses again.
"This cup is to congratulate Congwen who is far away in the army for his promotion to squad leader!"
Let’s clink our glasses…
Some of them are untouchable.
Su Qingyun watched as Ji Yue's skin color changed from light red to dark red.
"Third brother, you're craving alcohol, aren't you?" Wu Guixiang couldn't stand it any longer and glared at him. "If you want to drink, drink more by yourself. Why are you bringing everyone else to drink together?"
"Didn't we say we should have fun together?" Su Aimin lowered his voice a little.
"You're having fun by yourself!"
Qin Ying pulled Su Aimin helplessly and said, "You're almost there."
Others don't understand, but she doesn't know it either? This person is just petty.
Su Aimin could only put down his wine glass in disappointment.
