But there is no way, my eldest brother passed away early, and my eldest sister-in-law is a woman. At this critical moment, he has to hold on!
Shen Xiangzhi also responded with an awkward smile, but his heart could no longer calm down.
It seems that from now on, An Hongdou must not drink any alcohol whenever he is around.
Fortunately, someone from the An family was there this time, otherwise, the way she looked at him just now would have made him doubt whether she wanted to do what happened last time on the mountain again!
Thinking that after the house is built, the two of them will move into the new house alone, Shen Xiangzhi can't help but feel deeply worried about his own safety.
However, this was just a small episode.
After An Hongdou left the stage, Old Lady An and Miao Hong also gradually stood up. Only a few men were left drinking happily one after another.
Big Brother An's face was red from drinking so much that he asked Second Brother An to help him go to the toilet. Second Brother An was also really drunk at the moment, so the two of them supported each other as they walked out of the door, one step deep and one step shallow.
As soon as he walked out of the room, Brother An ran towards the bathroom.
Second Brother An hurriedly chased after him and saw his eldest brother bending over and holding onto the wall, vomiting happily in the corner.
"Brother, are you okay?" The main forces at the table were Andelai and Big Brother An. Second Brother An and the others drank less, but almost as much.
After vomiting, Brother An stood up and said with a bitter face: "This... Chen Xiangzhi looks so skinny, but he can actually drink so much!"
Originally, I wanted to treat my brother-in-law well and let him know how powerful my eldest brother-in-law is. Unexpectedly, I was the one being treated instead and he was sitting there peacefully.
Moreover, seeing that the second uncle was now dragging Shen Xiangzhi to sit there and chattering endlessly, as if he was more affectionate than seeing his own son, he was probably almost drunk.
Second Brother An frowned and said, "How about you go back and rest first, and the Third Brother and I will go up?"
He and the third brother could still hold out for a while, but Second Brother An was getting angry and suddenly had an impulse. He didn't believe that even if his entire family joined in drinking, they wouldn't be able to drink more than this kid.
If not, the fourth one hasn’t drunk it yet!
Brother An waved his hand, "Come on, that's enough. Today we are entertaining the new son-in-law, not the enemy. My brother-in-law has drunk as much as the rest of us. You and the third brother are upstairs now. Isn't that bullying? Can you please give me some face?"
Second Brother An helped First Brother An back to the table, where An Delai was already lying unconscious.
Chen Xiangzhi sat calmly aside, and smiled when he saw them coming back, saying, "Second Uncle should have drunk enough, Big Brother, Second Brother, do you guys want to drink more?"
Of course he knew that this was a way for the bride's family to show their power to the new son-in-law.
Back then, when one of his buddies got married, the show of power was even more severe. Dozens of people from her family took turns to help, and he was the main force in resisting the drinking.
In the blink of an eye, several years have passed, and their situations have changed. People who once seemed closer than brothers have eventually gone their separate ways.
Thinking of this, Shen Xiangzhi couldn't help feeling a little melancholy.
He picked up the wine on the table and drank it down in one gulp like water.
Brother An stared with his eyes wide open, his heart trembling, and said, "Second Uncle is already drunk, and it's almost time for the day, why don't we just go away?"
If they don't leave now, it will be almost time for dinner. My second uncle has already laid down. Seeing that my brother-in-law is calm and collected, I don't think he can hold on even if he brings his three stupid brothers along!
Shen Xiangzhi also took a look at the sky outside. The weather was already bad, and now it was hazy, and even the light had dimmed.
“Since Second Brother has said so, let’s just go our separate ways.” Chen Xiang knew.
Only then did Brother An breathe a sigh of relief, as if he had finally saved his life.
After walking out of the An family, Shen Xiangzhi's tall figure could no longer hold on. He held on to the wall with one hand and rubbed his chest desperately with the other.
He can drink a little more than the average person, but he is not the reincarnation of a wine god.
These people from the An family forced us to drink and took turns to attack them from time to time. Even a god would not be able to withstand it!
He was able to come out of this with dignity, which made me admire myself very much.
"Brother-in-law..."
Just as he was thinking, Shen Xiangzhi suddenly heard someone calling him from behind, and he quickly stood up straight and put down his hand that was covering his chest.
Looking back, she was still the same as before, with the breeze and bright moon, but her cheeks were slightly red and her eyes were hazy as if foggy.
After all, he had been drinking, so there was nothing wrong with his appearance.
Looking at Fourth Brother An who was catching up, Shen Xiangzhi knew that he was one year younger than him, but he still had to call him obediently, "Fourth Brother, are you calling me for something?"
"My sister still has some chestnuts left from the mountain she picked some time ago, and my mom asked me to bring you some to try." Fourth Brother An is not very old, and doesn't have that many thoughts. His smile is as pure as a silly and innocent boy, and he reaches out and hands over a net bag.
Shen Xiangzhi took a look, thought about it, and still did not refuse, and said: “Then thank you, fourth brother.”
Brother An Si thought about how his eldest brother had vomited under the table as soon as his brother-in-law came out just now, and looked at Shen Xiangzhi worriedly, and asked, "Brother-in-law, are you drunk? How about I take you home?"
The educated youth point was on the outskirts of the village, across a short path with ponds on both sides. He was really afraid that his newly appointed brother-in-law would sprain his foot and fall into the pond. Although the water was not deep, the weather was too cold and he would inevitably suffer.
Chen Xiangzhi shook his head, "Thank you for your kindness, Fourth Brother, but no need, I can go back by myself, Fourth Brother should go back and take care of Second Uncle and the others."
"Okay then, be careful." Brother An Si saw that Shen Xiangzhi left with a relatively steady pace, so he put away his worries and turned around to go home.
Andelai was drunk and unconscious, but he didn't go home and spent the night with his fourth brother An.
Andelai is ten years younger than Old Man An. When Old Lady An married him, he was still a child. In addition, his mother passed away early, so even his marriage was arranged by Old Lady An, so he was not afraid of gossip.
Early in the morning, someone rushed in, shouting, "Oh no, Captain, something happened!"
Andela suddenly opened his eyes, and his head was aching so much that it felt like it was about to explode due to his hangover.
But as the captain, he had to get up quickly and shouted outside: "What's wrong? What happened?"
"Ergouzi's mother said that Ergouzi has been missing for two days and still hasn't been found!" the man said hurriedly.
Qingshan Village is located in the mountains, where there are many wild animals. In the past few years, there have been frequent cases of wild animals coming down the mountains and biting people to death, but that was in the winter when it was difficult to find food.
Although it is just the beginning of winter, the weather is not too cold yet. We are not left without food or water. The wild animals in the mountains will not come down the mountain at this time, right?
Andelai got up, put on his shoes, and hurried out.
An Hongdou also came out of the house at this time and said, "Have you looked for him in the cowshed? Er Gouzi stayed in the cowshed the night before yesterday, and he was still there when I came back yesterday at noon."
