It was the first time that Su Yuehua heard this statement and she found it very novel.
Shen Chengyi explained to her: "The rule of my family during the Chinese New Year is that you can't eat an empty plate of each dish, you have to leave some, hoping for more blessings in the new year."
Soon after, the second pot of dumplings was cooked, but Shen Lili still hadn't come back.
It gets dark early in the northeast in winter. It's just past six o'clock and it's already pitch black outside.
Chen Chengzhong stood up from the kang worriedly, "Mom, I'll go out and look for Lili."
"Let's eat and don't worry about her. She'll come back when she's had enough fun." Just as Bai Xiuying finished speaking, Chen Lili came running back from outside.
She saw Bai Xiuying's face tense, and she lowered her head to explain: "Mom, Yanhong's brother and sister-in-law are in the hospital with Tiedan. I'll go over and talk to her."
At this moment, the whole family was waiting to eat, and Bai Xiuying didn’t want to spoil the fun, so she just glared at Shen Lili, turned around and said to everyone, “Let’s eat.”
When it comes to eating, everyone is really hungry. Shen Chengzhong picked up the wine bottle and poured a glass into Su Yuehua's bowl, "Sister-in-law, thank you, big brother, you must drink this glass of wine today."
“Brother, Yuehua doesn’t know how to drink, I’ll drink for her.” Just as Shen Chengyi was about to take the wine glass in front of Su Yuehua, he was stopped by Shen Chengzhong, “Chengyi, I know you protect your wife, but this glass of wine today has a different meaning, you can’t drink it for her.”
Since Shen Chengzhong has said so much, it would be really bad for Su Yuehua not to drink this glass of wine.
Normally, Su Yuehua would drink two glasses of wine at a party with friends, so she didn't really care about the half glass of wine poured by Shen Chengzhong.
She picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. She regretted it after she finished drinking it. The alcohol content of the liquor brewed in the countryside was extremely high. As soon as she drank it, she felt a burning sensation in her stomach.
Shen Chengyi saw her discomfort and quickly put a dumpling in her bowl, “Eat a dumpling first, it’s uncomfortable to drink on an empty stomach.”
Su Yuehua was already a little tipsy at this moment, and squinted her eyes at him, "Thank you."
After eating a dumpling, Su Yuehua felt much better in her stomach.
She looked down and found another dumpling in the bowl. Without thinking, she picked up the chopsticks and picked it up.
Seeing Su Yuehua so generous, Shen Chengzhong poured her another glass, then raised the glass and said, "Sister-in-law, I toast you with this glass of wine. I wish you and Chengyi a long and happy life together and have a son soon. I'll drink first to show my respect."
After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp.
Su Yuehua saw that Shen Chengzhong had finished it, so she felt bad if she didn't drink it, so she picked it up and started drinking.
“Su Yuehua, you can’t drink anymore.” When Shen Chengyi tried to stop her, Su Yuehua had already drunk most of the cup.
He snatched the wine glass and said in a serious voice: "Su Yuehua, you have drunk enough."
Su Yuehua glanced at him and muttered, "If you don't want to drink, then don't drink. Why are you being so fierce? I'm eating dumplings."
She picked up the chopsticks and was about to pick up the dumpling when she found another dumpling in her bowl. She said to herself, "How can there be a dumpling in the bowl?"
After saying that, she picked up the dumplings and put them in her mouth, not noticing Shen Chengyi’s dark face at all.
Li Yumei snatched the wine glass from Shen Chengzhong's hand and complained: "What kind of wine did you let your sister-in-law drink? Look, she's already drunk."
Su Yuehua's cheeks flushed, and she looked at Li Yumei with a smile, "Sister-in-law, I'm not drunk. This little bit of alcohol is nothing. Don't blame my brother."
Su Yuehua didn't feel anything right after drinking, but now she felt a little dizzy and saw double.
“Shen Chengyi, how come there are two of you.”
"You've drunk too much." Shen Chengyi's voice was full of helplessness.
Bai Xiuying reminded: "Chengyi, your wife is drunk, help her back to her room and let her sleep for a while."
Shen Chengyi nodded, gently helped Su Yuehua off the kang, and carefully put on her shoes.
His series of actions made the Shen family members stare in amazement.
Shen Xiaohu rubbed his eyes in surprise and muttered, “Second Uncle won’t be possessed by a monster!”
Shen Chengyi glared at him and he quickly covered his mouth.
"Su Yuehua, can you walk by yourself?"
Su Yuehua nodded vigorously. Just as she stood up from the kang, her legs went limp. Fortunately, Shen Chengyi was quick to support her.
She looked at Shen Chengyi and said with a drunken smile: “Shen Chengyi, has anyone ever told you that you look okay, but you just need to learn to smile more.”
