Chapter 26 The drunkard's intention is not to drink



"Uncle San, your way of taking advantage is really unique."

Sha Zhu had just returned and happened to hear Yan Fugui's great teachings. He couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.

He is just that kind of person, he is very talkative and wants to comment on everything he sees.

"Don't worry about whether it's unique or not, what matters is whether you get the advantage or not."

Yan Fugui didn't want to pamper Sha Zhu either, so he said, "You know what this steamed bread tastes like. It makes your throat hurt when you eat it normally, but after smelling the aroma of this chicken, won't it make it easier to swallow?"

"Okay, okay, Uncle Third, what you said makes sense. I won't argue with you anymore. I'm going home to eat pig's head."

As he spoke, Sha Zhu deliberately waved the pig's head that he had packed back from the banquet he prepared today in front of Yan Fugui, then walked home with his hands behind his back.

"Hey, Silly Zhu, don't be in such a hurry to leave."

Seeing the pig's head, Yan Fugui's shameless spirit came to the fore: "What's the point of eating it by yourself at home? I still have half a bottle of Erguotou in my room. I'll take it out and we can drink some together."

"Stop busying yourself, Third Uncle. You've diluted your Erguotou with water several times. Does it still taste like alcohol?" Sha Zhu looked at Yan Fugui with a half-smile and said unhappily.

"Nonsense, who, who diluted Erguotou with water?"

Yan Fugui's eyes were a little evasive when he spoke, but for a bite of pig's head, he was willing to risk it all: "I still have an unopened bottle of Erguotou. How about we try it?"

"Really unopened?"

When he heard about the unopened Erguotou, Sha Zhu couldn't help but be tempted. But there was no other way, drinking alone was really not a good idea.

"That can't be false."

Seeing that Sha Zhu was interested, Yan Fugui did not hesitate: "Wait, I'll go home and get it."

"Okay, Uncle Third, let's have a drink together. I'll get a plate of peanuts."

After saying goodbye to Yan Fugui, Sha Zhu walked towards home, but his eyes were looking at the door of the Jia family. His eyes flickered, and it was unknown what he was thinking about.

The next moment, as if he had made up his mind, he came to the door of Jia's house and asked, "Is Dongsheng home?"

In the Jia family's house, the chicken soup was already stewed. The family of five was eating steamed buns and drinking chicken soup with big mouthfuls. Banggeng and Xiaodanger each had a chicken leg and were eating it with big mouthfuls, enjoying the delicious taste.

Although the chicken used in a bowl of chicken soup doesn’t taste as delicious as meat, whether it tastes delicious or not depends on the situation.

Banggeng and Xiaodanger, who only eat chicken a few times a year, have their eyes light up when they see chicken. They don’t even know the difference between chicken stewed in chicken soup and ordinary chicken.

Even if there is a difference, they can't tell the difference.

Therefore, the two little guys ate the two chicken thighs with such relish that even though Jia Dongsheng knew that the chicken was no longer tasty, he still couldn't help but eat a piece.

But when he put it in his mouth, the overcooked taste made him realize that the chicken would not become more delicious just because Bang Geng and the others ate it. He should drink chicken soup instead, which was more delicious.

Suddenly, they heard Shazhu's voice outside. Before Jia Dongsheng could even get up, Banggeng muttered, "It's Shazhu."

"Um?"

Jia Dongsheng's eyes narrowed. "Bang Geng, what did you just say?"

"Silly Zhu." Banggeng looked at his second uncle in confusion, with a mixture of kindness and a hint of fear in his eyes. There was no way. After being taught a lesson that day, in the past few days, whenever he did something wrong, he would be taught a lesson. He was already a little scared.

"Remember from now on, you have to call me Uncle Zhuzi. You can also call me Shazhu?"

Jia Dongsheng must correct the fact that Banggeng follows the adults and calls He Yuzhu "Shazhu".

Since Jia Dongxu passed away, Sha Zhu has helped the Jia family a lot. There is nothing wrong with calling the adult Sha Zhu. Not to mention other people, Sha Zhu himself is used to it.

But children are not allowed to shout along, as that would make them seem uncultured.

"Why?" Banggeng looked at Jia Zhang in confusion. Yes, this name was told to him by Jia Zhang herself.

"Dongsheng, Shazhu is just a fool. Everyone calls him that, and Banggeng follows suit. It's nothing."

Jia Zhang started to speak up for Bang Geng. There was no other way. This was what she was taught, and she had no choice but to speak up.

"How can that be possible?"

Jia Dongsheng said, "Mom, Shazhu has been helping our family a lot since my brother passed away. Since he has helped us, we should be grateful. How could he do such a thing?"

"You guys can call him Shazhu, but how can you call him Banggeng like that?"

"Bang Geng, I'm telling you, from now on, you must call all adults uncle. If I hear you call them anything else, I'll beat you up. Do you understand?"

"I heard it." Banggeng didn't understand, but he knew that when Jia Dongsheng said he would beat him, he really meant it, so he responded honestly.

"Um."

Nodding with satisfaction, Jia Dongsheng said, "The children of our Jia family must be well-educated. There must be no more such teaching in the future."

"I'm going to go out and see what's going on with Shazhu."

With that, Jia Dongsheng left, leaving behind three people, two adults and one child, in the room. They stared at each other, and everyone knew that Jia Dongsheng was really angry.

"Bang Geng, did you hear what your second uncle said? From now on, you are not allowed to call Sha Zhu "Sha Zhu". You have to call him Uncle Zhuzi. Did you hear me?"

Qin Huairu picked up a piece of chicken for Banggeng and said softly.

"I understand." Banggeng didn't understand much. If he was not allowed to shout, then so be it. The important thing was to eat the meat quickly.

Jia Zhang felt that the chicken in her mouth was no longer fragrant. She felt that her son had scolded her, but she also felt that what Jia Dongsheng did was right, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

On the other side, Jia Dongsheng walked out of the house and saw Sha Zhu standing at the door: "Sha Zhu, what do you want from me?"

That’s right, it’s such a double standard. He doesn’t allow Banggeng to call him Shazhu, but it feels natural for him to call him that.

"Hi, nothing."

Sha Zhu showed Jia Dongsheng the pig's head meat in his hand and said, "Someone is getting married today. I'm going to prepare the banquet. They gave me some pig's head meat as a gift. I thought I'd invite you over so we can have a drink together."

"Uncle San has a bottle of Erguotou. Let's give it to him later. It's not easy to make Uncle San bleed."

"Drinking?"

Jia Dongsheng smiled and said, "I went out for a drink today and I really can't drink anymore. How about this, I'll make a table tomorrow and invite you guys over. We can drink some more. Forget it today. It's too uncomfortable to drink too much."

“I see…”

Sha Zhu hesitated for a moment and said, "That's fine. I'm waiting for your treat."

"No problem, I'll arrange it tomorrow, and you just need to bring your mouth when the time comes."

"It's settled then. Let's have a drink together tomorrow."

Sha Zhu was not the kind of person who would fuss. After hearing what Jia Dongsheng said, he nodded and went home. But before leaving, he took an awkward look into the Jia family's house, but he didn't see the familiar figure, which made him a little disappointed.

Jia Dongsheng shook his head and sighed, "The drunkard's real interest is not in the wine."
