Chapter 350: A Table of Drunkards
At nine o'clock the next morning, Gao Mingcheng and Xuanyue were ready and sat on the tractor.
With a tractor, it is much more convenient to go out for a drink. Gao Mingcheng drove for a while and then parked the car at the foot of a small hill. On the hill was Xuanyu's home.
Zhang Chengyuan and Xuanyu also walked over here and got in the car. As soon as they sat down, Gao Mingcheng started the car. Next, he had to go to the next village to pick up his eldest sister Xuanyujin's family.
Driving along the village road, ten minutes later, the tractor stopped on the village road below the Manyu Jin family.
The houses in the village were densely packed, so they naturally couldn't park in front of the house. Xuanyuemei stood up and shouted towards the house: "Big sister, are you ready? Let's go to the third sister's house together!"
"Hey, here they come!" The voices of Xuanyi Jin were heard from among the houses. Soon, the Xuanyi Jin family appeared in the corridor and walked towards the village road.
The two children walked in front and greeted Duomei warmly as soon as they arrived.
Xuanyuemei had given them beautiful clothes and food, so they all liked Xuanyuemei as their aunt. After sitting on the truck bed, they began to tease the little brother in Xuanyueyu's arms. With the presence of the two of them, the atmosphere instantly became cheerful.
Xuanyu Jin and her husband were sitting on the outside of the tractor with their feet hanging in the air, but it was no big deal. The tractor was not going very fast and as long as they sat firmly, they would not be afraid of falling off.
We headed all the way towards Yaqian Town. Half an hour later, the road ahead became wider and we arrived at the town.
The buildings in this town are divided into two parts, east and west, with the road in the middle as the dividing line, each with large tracts of fertile fields and green mountains.
But when it comes to market day here, both sides of the wide road become market venues, crowded with all kinds of vendors and people who come to the market.
He Zhigang's family was well-off. He worked in a cooperative, and his father was skilled in two trades: carpentry and wine making. His family even opened a winery, and they could sell a lot of rice wine every time they went to market.
Therefore, his house is quite nice, located on the east side of the road, a two-story brick house. He Zhigang has an older sister and an older brother, and he is the youngest in the family.
When Gao Mingcheng and the others arrived, the He family was already very lively.
Two new stoves were built in the He family's yard, both of which were placed on iron pots. On one iron pot, there were five or six layers of steamers, and on the other iron pot, vegetables were being fried.
The aroma of the food filled the air, and the greedy children next door kept looking over here.
Most of the He family's relatives and friends have already arrived, and are gathering in groups of three or four, cracking melon seeds and chatting.
As soon as Gao Mingcheng and others arrived, He Zhigang greeted them with a smile.
They had been relatives of the mother's wife for many months, so naturally they would be given a grand reception. He Zhigang poured them hot tea and arranged for them to sit down.
But Xuanyuemei couldn't sit still, she was eager to see her third sister and children.
Xuanyue and Xuanyuejin also wanted to go see their sisters.
So He Zhigang led them into the room where the baby lived. As for Gao Mingcheng and the others, they naturally did not follow them. Anyway, the baby would definitely be brought out to be seen by everyone later.
They gave the gifts they brought to He Zhigang, and then naturally joined in the conversation among He's relatives and friends. The eldest brother-in-law was also a talkative person, but Zhang Chengyuan, because of his background, had a dull personality and didn't like to talk, so he stayed alone aside.
The He family's full-month banquet was held in a grand manner, with nine tables in total. The dishes on the tables were also very good, and the guests praised the food frequently.
The wine at the banquet was brewed by He Zhigang's father, and he generously said "enough is enough".
So those who love wine would play drinking games at the table, and the loser would have to drink a glass of wine.
Gao Mingcheng and his brother-in-law were also invited to play finger-guessing games, but Gao Mingcheng refused, saying that he had to drive later.
The lives of everyone in the car are under his control, how dare he drink so recklessly?
What's more, his pregnant wife was in the car, so he couldn't afford to have any accidents.
So he was teased and temporarily changed his seat to sit next to Zhang Chengyuan.
Well, Zhang Chengyuan is a dull person who doesn't talk much and doesn't like to socialize with others. So, he naturally doesn't know how to play finger-guessing games or drinking games.
But he can drink, too. He took half a cup of wine in small sips during the meal, and his cheeks turned slightly red, which shows that his alcohol tolerance is not very good.
Gao Mingcheng didn't need to worry about Zhang Chengyuan, but he had to worry about his brother-in-law, because he was an alcoholic! And he would get liver cancer and die early in the future!
So Gao Mingcheng decided to keep an eye on him, and when he had almost finished drinking, he would drag him away.
My eldest brother-in-law's family is average and he seldom drinks, so he gets very excited when playing finger-guessing games with others. He is so excited that the sound of the game becomes louder and louder. You can hear the sound of this group of drunkards playing finger-guessing games from more than ten meters away.
"Haha, you lose, drink! Drink quickly!"
"belch!"
"Fuck, I lost again! Let's try again!"
The men's vulgar voices were heard, and their faces and necks were red from drinking. Even so, they still tilted their heads back and drank.
Finally, someone couldn't stand it anymore. He tilted his head and spit on the ground. A strange smell instantly spread.
Xuanyuemei was sitting aside, and now she looked uncomfortable. She covered her nose and hurried out. She was afraid that if she looked at it or smelled it for a while longer, she would vomit.
Seeing that it was almost time, Gao Mingcheng immediately stepped forward, lifted up his brother-in-law, and walked outside.
"Third brother-in-law, we'll go back first." Gao Mingcheng called out, but the host He Zhigang was already drunk.
He is also an alcoholic. Today is his son's full moon party, and he was forced to drink non-stop. He was already drunk.
"I can still drink, I want to win!" The eldest brother-in-law was already confused, but the man's spirit of refusing to admit defeat was still there, and he struggled to go to the drinking table.
But he was too weak to break free from Gao Mingcheng's restraints.
Gao Mingcheng threw him into the bed of the tractor and told his eldest sister Xuanyuejin to keep an eye on him. As for Xuanyuemei, he was to keep her a little away from the drunkard to prevent him from going crazy suddenly and hurting her stomach.
"Why do you like drinking so much?" Xuan Duojin complained and pressed her husband hard to prevent him from moving. The two children just thought it was fun and helped to press down their father. Under the suppression of the whole family, the eldest brother-in-law gradually calmed down.
He stared blankly with his cloudy eyes for a while, then he tilted his head and fell asleep.
The snoring sound was heard and scattered in the wind.
Gao Mingcheng was concentrating on driving. He had not drunk any alcohol, so he was clear-headed and his driving skills were very steady!
Half an hour later, the car arrived at Xuanyi Jin's village first. His brother-in-law was still sleeping, and Xuanyi Jin couldn't carry him at all.
"Let me do it." Gao Mingcheng said, and he pulled up his sleeping brother-in-law, then carried him in his arms like a princess.
This guy is so handsome that if he were in the entertainment industry, he could beat a bunch of young handsome guys in seconds.
Gao Mingcheng held his brother-in-law in his arms, walked through the village corridor, and put him on the bed.
Until now, my brother-in-law has not sobered up yet and is still sleeping soundly.
Gao Mingcheng looked at his young brother-in-law. He was so addicted to alcohol that he didn't know if he could persuade him to quit drinking. Otherwise, liver cancer would still beckon him and invite him to go to hell early.
"Sister, please feed your brother-in-law some kudzu flower liquor to soothe him, and advise him to drink less." Gao Mingcheng said.
"Hey, I'll boil some water to soak the kudzu flowers." Xuanyun Jin responded, but then complained, "How can I persuade him? He usually won't buy wine to drink, but when it comes to a banquet, he drinks to his heart's content. I can't stop him."
"Try to stop him. It's not good for him to be drunk and unconscious." Gao Mingcheng just said this and then left.
Now my brother-in-law only gets drunk at banquets. When life gets better in the future and he has enough money to buy wine, I will persuade him more.
I hope... I can persuade him.
Thinking so, Gao Mingcheng continued driving the tractor back to Gaojia Village.
