Chapter 67 Chapter 67 Update 1

Fu Mingze looked at the shallow layer of wine in the wine cup, and looked at Shen Shaoyuan in confusion: "Did you brew this wine yourself, Dad?"

Although he had long discovered that his father-in-law was actually a very smart person, and seemed to learn things very quickly in some areas other than serious matters, but brewing wine?

Of course, there are actually people in the village who can brew wine, but basically everyone can only brew a little rice wine for their own drinking, and because of the food shortage in recent years, there are very few people who brew wine.

And this wine is obviously not the rice wine that farmers can brew casually. Even an ordinary winemaker is afraid that he can't brew this wine.

Shen Shaoyuan began to talk nonsense without any shame: "This wine has been brewed for a long time. I brewed it with Moer's mother when Moer was still young. I almost forgot about it, but I suddenly remembered it a few days ago and dug it out. Moer's mother is really skillful. This wine is brewed very well. When I opened it for the first time, I almost got drunk by the smell."

Shen Moer looked at him silently, thinking, didn't she almost get drunk by the smell? This is the famous Daliang wine Huaxiamian. The wine is the most mellow and rich when it is opened. People with a lighter alcohol tolerance can get drunk just by smelling it.

Originally, there was an old steward in the palace who could brew wine. Her father had been bored and tried to brew wine a few times. He could probably brew some ordinary rice wine, but to say that he could brew wine like Huaxiamian was pure nonsense and bullying Fu Zhiqing who didn't know the situation.

Fu Mingze felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. After all, his father-in-law hadn't bought any wine recently. If he said that this wine was just dug out from the buried wine at home, it would make sense. The only thing was that this wine was brewed too well.

Fu Mingze said sincerely: "The wine-brewing skills may not be matched by the masters of ordinary wineries."

Shen Shaoyuan sighed softly: "It's not brewed by me alone, it's mainly due to the credit of Moer's mother. I'm afraid I can't brew it alone."

Fu Mingze didn't want to bring up Shen Shaoyuan's sad memories, so he took the bottle and filled it for everyone, and raised the glass: "Dad, I toast you."

Shen Shaoyuan sighed slowly: "Okay."

Shen Moer looked at Fu Mingze sympathetically. Fu Zhiqing is usually very smart and sharp, but she was probably not on guard against her father-in-law, and was stunned by her father's trick.

But it's not surprising. After all, her father's ability to deceive people was learned from the most shrewd people in the world. If he was so easily discovered, he would have lost his life long ago.

Shen Moer thought about it and picked up a piece of fish for Fu Mingze: "Eat more fish." Eat some fish to nourish your brain. She

also picked up a piece of scrambled eggs for Shen Shaoyuan: "Eat more eggs." Eat more food and deceive less.

Halfway through the New Year's Eve dinner, firecrackers were heard outside. Shen Moer raised her glass: "I wish you all the best, happiness and health in the coming year."

Shen Shaoyuan smiled and said, "Happiness and health."

Fu Mingze: "Happiness and health."

Bang, a huge firecracker was heard, and Shen Shaoyuan was startled: "Oh, who bought such a loud firecracker? Well, let's eat faster and set off firecrackers as well. We can't be outdone by them."

After the meal, Shen Moer and Fu Mingze cleaned up the dishes. Shen Shaoyuan took a lunch box with the meat and vegetables that he had reserved in advance. Shen Shaoyuan stuffed another steamed bun into it and went out in the cover of night.

Shen Moer knew that he was going to bring food to Old Wang in the cowshed, and he would probably be back for a while, so after washing the dishes, she dragged Fu Mingze to set off firecrackers.

Usually, the village would be dark and quiet at this time, but today was different. Even though they were at the entrance of the village, they could see the lights constantly lighting up in the village, and could hear faint laughter.

The firecrackers had already been hung at the door. Fu Mingze lit the fuse with a match, and hurriedly dragged Shen Moer to run to the door. The firecrackers crackled behind them. Shen Moer screamed and laughed and hid behind Fu Mingze. Fu Mingze stretched out his hand and pulled her into his arms.

The cold winter night air was suddenly blocked out. Shen Moer glanced at the gate and hugged Fu Mingze's thin waist.

Fu Mingze lowered his head and kissed her, saying softly, "Comrade Shen Moer, Happy New Year."

Shen Moer smiled and said, "Fu Zhiqing, Happy New Year."

Shen Moer didn't know when her father came back. She only knew that she was so sleepy that she was forced by Fu Zhiqing to "stay up all night." His way of staying up all night was too tiring. She was so exhausted that her voice became hoarse, and she didn't know how many times she had scratched him with her fingers.

She hated him for not keeping his word. He said he would sleep right away, but he didn't let go even after a long time. She was afraid that she was too strong and might hurt him. She was in a daze until he brought in an enamel basin of hot water to clean her. She squinted and looked at the time. It was already past two in the morning.

In the dim light, Fu Mingze looked satisfied, his handsome face was slightly flushed, and he looked different from his usual laziness.

He bent down and kissed Shen Moer's lips, coaxing softly: "Go to sleep."

Shen Moer wanted to roll her eyes at him, but his eyes were not murderous at all, but soft and somewhat seductive. Fu Mingze sighed, stretched out his hand to cover her eyes, and said again: "Go to sleep."

Shen Moer fell asleep immediately. When she woke up again, the sun was already high in the sky. She looked at the time and it was almost ten o'clock. She

could vaguely hear someone talking outside the door. Shen Moer listened attentively for a while and heard that it was Maomao and his friends. Maomao had the loudest voice. She heard the naughty kids yelling, "Sister Moer, why don't you get up? The sun is shining on your butt."

Shen Moer: "..."

Then she heard Fu Mingze's serious voice: "These candies are prepared by your sister Moer, take them and eat them, she stayed up all night to celebrate the New Year and went to bed very late, you can come and play with her tomorrow."

"But I have to go to grandma's tomorrow."

"Then wait until you come back from grandma's."

Fu Mingze coaxed the group of children away calmly. Shen Moer listened to the gradual quieting down outside and pulled the quilt to cover her face.

Lecher, liar.

*

After sleeping for a long time, she woke up to eat and drink, and the first day of the new year passed in such a leisurely and casual atmosphere.

Shen Yinyin's family came early in the morning on the second day of the new year.

The second day of the new year is the day to go back to the mother's home. Shen Yinyin's three children are not married yet, and there is no need to worry about whether the daughter-in-law wants to go back to the mother's home, so the whole family just came together.

What was unexpected was that not long after Shen Yinyin's family arrived, Shen Shengli, the eldest son of the Shen family, actually sent his grandson to come and say that he wanted Shen Yinyin to have dinner at his house. He also told her that "the eldest brother is like a father. Now that both parents are gone, he, as the eldest brother, is the wife's family of his younger sisters."

Shen Yinyin was stunned by what she heard, thinking that the sun was rising from the west today. In previous years, when she returned to Yangliu Brigade, except for having a meal at Shen Shaoyuan's house, the other brothers ignored her and pretended not to know she was coming.

Shen Yinyin and Shen Shengli had a mediocre relationship and didn't want to go, so she said that Shen Shaoyuan had already prepared the food. The grandson of the Shen family ran back to reply, and soon came back, saying that his grandfather said that since he had lunch at the seventh grandfather's house at noon, he should go to their house to eat in the evening, so he didn't have to worry about not being able to go back at night. He would stay at their house and everyone would squeeze in.

He also said that the seventh grandfather should bring his aunt and uncle with him, so that the family could have a reunion dinner.

"Boss, are you crazy about gains and losses?" Shen Yinyin couldn't help but say after Mr. Shen's grandson left.

She really didn't have a villainous heart, she was actually a younger sister, and she knew very well what Shen Shengli was like as a person. This person just can't afford to be early because he has no profit. Even though he is the boss, he has never helped the younger ones, and he deliberately takes advantage of the younger ones.

When Shen Yinyin got married, Shen Shengli had already married and started a business. He was obviously the elder brother who had separated and was living alone. He still wanted to calculate Shen Yinyin's gift money. If the old man hadn't been clear-headed at that time and insisted on returning the gift money to his daughter no matter what his son said, he might have really been able to trick him out of the money.

Shen Shaoyuan curled his lips: "He wants to find a way out for his son and grandson."

Previously, he was still resentful of their family because his grandson stole bricks and was sent to the police station. Shen Moer didn't even come to the wedding banquet when she got married, and even threatened that they would no longer have any contact in the future. Now her attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees. It is obvious that it is mostly because of the ninth workshop of the embroidery factory under construction.

Shen Yinyin spat: "He has a nice idea."

But she didn't save face for Shen Shengli. She just asked his little grandson to take a message back: "There was no such rule in previous years, and there is no need to bother this year."

Regardless of Shen Shengli's thoughts, he directly mocked him back.

In fact, Shen Shaoyuan was not wrong. Shen Shengli really thought so.

He has three sons and several adult grandchildren. When he found out that Shen Moer was going to be the deputy director of the workshop of the state-owned factory and could arrange for someone to work in the factory, he was so regretful that he almost turned green with regret. He wished he could go back to the time when Shen Moer got married. He would definitely prepare a big gift and go to her house in person.

There are so many strong workers in his family, even if one or two of them can become workers, the family will be different

. Shen Shengli regretted the previous quarrel with Shen Shaoyuan. He finally found such an excuse and thought he could take the opportunity to ease the relationship with Shen Shaoyuan's family.

But Shen Yinyin didn't respond at all. After hearing the message brought back by his grandson, Shen Shengli was so angry that he smashed an enamel cup at home.

The fourth child, Shen Xianghong, was also at Shen Shengli's house. Her husband's family worked in the commune, and her husband was a worker, so he had some face in her family. Every year on the second day of the Chinese New Year, they would have dinner at Shen Shengli's house.

Shen Xianghong glanced at the enamel cup rolling on the ground, rolled her eyes, and said, "Brother, don't be angry. You don't know how bad-tempered Yinyin is. She has been like this for many years. It's really not worth getting angry with her. It's still early, let's go around the village, and it's a good time for you to take a rest." With a wink, she called out the man Lu Yiping and the lady Lu Xiaoqin.

After leaving Shen Shengli's house, Lu Xiaoqin pouted and complained: "What's so good about the village? It's freezing."

Lu Yiping: "It's awkward for us to stay in the house, so we should go out."

Shen Xianghong showed a smug smile: "You guys, don't you think about what day it is today? I'm going back to my mother's house on the second day of the first lunar month. My parents are dead, so I'm going back to my brothers' house. I have four brothers. My eldest brother's house is my mother's house, but my younger brother's house is not my mother's house? Shen Yinyin can go to Lao Qi's house, but we can't. Let's go to Lao Qi's house!"

Lu Xiaoqin didn't want to go. She had almost no contact with Shen Moer since she was a child. She used to look down on Shen Moer, but now the person she used to look down on has suddenly become rich, and she feels uncomfortable.

Shen Xianghong asked: "Do you want to be a worker?"

Lu Xiaoqin's eyes lit up.
