Chapter 468 Toast
Wang Jianming is worthy of being a leader. He is very good at livening up the atmosphere and has a clear purpose, which is to get Zhao Shunfa, Lu Jingyou, and Liu Fucheng drunk.
In his opinion, a drinking party is successful only when others are drunk but he is not.
During the meal, he was the only one who kept urging people to drink, and even Wang Yunying and Cheng Yu who were cooking in the kitchen heard it.
Wang Yunying felt that her eldest son-in-law was capable and was very tolerant of him. She said to Cheng Yu with some pride: "Don't you say that without your brother-in-law, life wouldn't be so lively!"
"Without him, this meal would have been over long ago." Cheng Yu had always disliked Wang Jianming. "It's just that he makes more money, what's so great about it? I haven't seen him bring back any more gifts."
Wang Yunying glanced at Cheng Yu in confusion: "Are you still relying on your brother-in-law's gifts to make a living?"
"Who counts on them?" Cheng Yu sneered, "If we count on them, we would have starved to death long ago."
"Then you still say that they didn't bring back extra gifts?" Wang Yunying persisted.
"Okay, stop talking, it's time to eat." Cheng Yu took the tray and prepared to bring the food to the kang. Wang Yunying glanced at the bedroom and said, "Wait a moment, your sisters are trying to get the child to sleep. Wait until the child is asleep before serving."
Chen Juan took a rag and wiped the stove back and forth. Cheng Yu took the rag from her and said with a smile, "You don't have to clean up. Go find Jiao Jiao and play!"
"Jiaojiao is answering the phone, she's busy!" Chen Juan is a person who can't sit still. Cheng Yu has always liked her. Unlike her two elder sisters-in-law, they would sit on the kang and never get down after they came, and they would never go into the kitchen.
Chen Ju’s child is young, so it’s understandable.
Chen Mei's children were running around everywhere, but she didn't come to help. She did nothing when she returned to her parents' home.
"Come to me." Su Jiaojiao sent a text message to Lu Jingyou. Just now, when she saw Zhao Shunfa going to the bathroom, Chen Juan gave him apple cider vinegar to drink, so she also made a cup for Lu Jingyou.
Lu Jingyou saw the text message, stood up and walked over. Seeing Su Jiaojiao sitting at the door, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Why are you sitting here?"
Although they were together every day these two days, they didn't have a chance to say a few words.
She was clearly right in front of him, but he felt she was so far away that he couldn't even hug her.
"I'll wait for you here." Su Jiaojiao handed him the thermos and whispered, "Drink this."
Lu Jingyou took a sip, it was sour and sweet, knowing it was apple cider vinegar, he smiled: "Don't worry, I won't get drunk."
"You need to finish this quickly. There's no need to wait for them to finish drinking. Find a chance to leave and let's go back." Su Jiaojiao was so annoyed by the noise that she didn't plan to join in the fun again.
"Okay, I got it." Lu Jingyou patted her shoulder, went to the bathroom, and went back to continue drinking.
Because they were in a team and Zhao Shunfa was the leader, he drank very easily and even found this kind of occasion very interesting.
After Chen Mei and Chen Ju coaxed the children to sleep, the women's table began to eat. With so many people, and two sleeping children, there wasn't enough room on the kang. Su Jiaojiao didn't want to take off her shoes and get on, so she simply stood in front of the kang.
Cheng Yu also stood on the ground. She needed help. Chen Juan didn't want to get on the kang, but the ground could only accommodate two people.
Although their meals were still not as sumptuous as those at Chen Guisheng's, they were obviously much better than in the previous two years. At least there were no carved radishes on the plates, and the quantity was larger.
And it has the flavor of a restaurant.
The women at the table didn't drink alcohol, but they had Coke and orange juice. Chen Mei gave each person a bottle of orange juice, saying it was a welfare benefit from Wang Jianming's unit and it tasted very good.
Su Jiaojiao picked up the phone but didn't open it.
It was too cold and she didn't want to drink it.
She also made herself a cup of apple cider vinegar juice, which was sour and sweet and tasted pretty good.
"The paper mill is really great. Not only did they give out orange juice, they also gave out boxes of fish," Wang Yunying said with pride. "Last year, Wang Jianming's cousin wanted to join their company, and it took a lot of effort for Wang Jianming to get him in."
"That's right!" Chen Mei curled her lips, looking very proud of her husband's wealth and glory. "Wang Jianming got his cousin in jail, and it didn't end well for him. His cousin did something wrong, and Wang Jianming scolded him a few times. He wasn't happy about it and almost got into a fight with Wang Jianming."
"You don't know how to be grateful at all." Wang Yunying was also very angry when she heard this. "From now on, I will help those who should be helped, and not help those who should not be helped."
"Who said it wasn't true?" Chen Mei felt very unfair for Wang Jianming.
The others ate silently.
The atmosphere in the living room was already heated. Wang Jianming was excitedly asking Lu Jingyou, "Xiao Lu, let me ask you, is our Jiao Jiao pretty?"
"nice!"
"Do you like our pepper?"
"like!"
"Do you want to marry her?"
"think!"
"Come on, three cups!" Wang Jianming signaled Chen Jiang to pour wine, and Chen Jiang immediately stood up to pour wine for Lu Jingyou.
Amidst the laughter of the crowd, Lu Jingyou drank three cups in a row, and he drank them willingly.
Then, Wang Jianming asked Zhao Shunfa: "Xiao Zhao, is Wutong Village good?"
"good!"
"Can you treat my second uncle and second aunt as your own parents in the future?"
"able."
"Do you enjoy being a live-in son-in-law?"
"Cool!"
"Come on, three cups!" Wang Jianming looked at Chen Jiang proudly, and Chen Jiang stepped forward with a smile to pour the wine.
After Zhao Shunfa finished three cups, Lu Jingyou calmly asked Wang Jianming, "Brother-in-law, isn't it time for us to ask you?"
"Don't worry, I promise you won't suffer any loss. You don't need to ask, we'll drink three cups in a row." Wang Jianming was quite happy. He poured himself a glass of wine and drank three cups in a row. He smiled and said, "We are married, there is nothing to say."
The wine he poured himself was not even full, only half a glass.
Although Chen Jiang saw it, he didn't know what to say.
Liu Fucheng said nothing, but actually drank three cups.
"Come on, let's move on to the next step." Wang Jianming had completely taken control of the conversation and seemed particularly excited. "Xiao Zhao, let me ask you this first: as a live-in son-in-law, are you willing to let my second uncle and second aunt move into your new house?"
Zhao Shunfa said yes.
Chen Juan sat on the kang and listened, looking embarrassed. It was obvious that Wang Jianming was deliberately making things difficult for Zhao Shunfa, but she couldn't say anything in front of so many people.
"Is my brother-in-law drunk?" Cheng Yu looked disgusted. He brought up all sorts of issues and kept talking about the live-in son-in-law. Wasn't he deliberately making fun of Zhao Shunfa?
"Leaders don't get drunk easily." Su Jiaojiao couldn't bear to listen any longer. She put down her chopsticks and said to Cheng Yu with a smile, "I'll go toast the leader right away. Otherwise, it would be too rude."
She originally didn't want to interfere in what the men were doing at the dinner table, but who knew that Wang Jianming would be so excessive, speaking without restraint and becoming more and more presumptuous.
In that case, don't blame her for being rude.
"I'll go too." Cheng Yu understood.
The two of them entered the living room one after the other. Su Jiaojiao stepped forward first and looked at Wang Jianming with a smile: "Who said that married people have nothing to say? Brother-in-law, you need to change to a bigger cup. I'm telling you, your small cup can't hold it!"
Wang Jianming has a middle-parted hairstyle, and looks very much like a traitor in a film or TV drama.
Su Jiaojiao didn't understand why he had such a hairstyle during the Chinese New Year.
"You say." Wang Jianming couldn't refuse.
"A meteoric rise to prominence, a smooth career ahead. Do you want to take the job?"
"Go, go, go!" Wang Jianming loves to hear words like this.
"Brother, change to a bigger cup!" Su Jiaojiao said to Chen Jiang seriously, "A bigger cup can hold more."
Chen Jiang immediately changed Wang Jianming's teacup: "It's time to drink more."
"May wealth roll in and everything go well. Do you want to take it?"
"catch!"
"Good health and happiness for the whole family, will you accept it?"
"catch!"
"Come on, three cups!" Su Jiaojiao stepped forward and personally poured wine for Wang Jianming, saying with a cheerful face, "It's my honor to pour wine for the leader."
Lu Jingyou looked at Su Jiaojiao's every move with loving eyes. He really loved his little girl terribly.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Wang Jianming drank three cups in a row and did not forget to praise Su Jiaojiao: "College students are college students."
"Brother-in-law, it's my turn!" Cheng Yu had long disliked Wang Jianming and said with a smile, "I'm uneducated and not as good as Jiao Jiao said. I wish you good luck in your work, everything goes well, and you make a fortune. Do you want some drinks?"
"You have to drink this even if you don't want to!" Chen Jiang quickly poured wine for Wang Jianming, giving face to his wife.
Chen Mei was listening on the kang and was very dissatisfied with Cheng Yu. Su Jiaojiao had already toasted three times, and Cheng Yu also joined in the fun. Wasn't he deliberately trying to get Wang Jianming drunk?
"Brother-in-law, I also wish you good luck in your work, promotion and wealth!" Liu Fucheng's face turned red from drinking, and the alcohol made him braver. He also raised his glass to toast Wang Jianming.
Wang Jianming had just put down his glass when he saw Liu Fucheng coming over to toast him. He was stunned: "We are in the same group, why are you toasting me?"
"I, I..." Liu Fucheng didn't know what to say for a moment. He looked at Wang Jianming's middle-parted hairstyle and felt that he looked like a traitor on TV. He thought quickly and said, "I'm not a traitor. I betrayed..."
Everyone burst into laughter.
Lu Jingyou, who was usually calm, almost spit out his tea. Zhao Shunfa fell down laughing and sat on the ground. Chen Jiang and Cheng Yu laughed so hard that their laughter almost blew the roof off.
Even the people on the kang laughed so hard that they bent over, waking up the sleeping children.
