At the end of the drinking, the two grown men were arm in arm, one calling the other "big brother" and the other "little brother"!
Ye Zhiqiu looked quite happy, so Wang Xiaolan stepped forward to persuade him, "Old Ye, I know you two brothers have a good relationship, but you can't drink too much! Now that I know the place, I'll go and recognize your brother's house tomorrow. You'll have plenty of opportunities to drink in the future!"
Ye Tianya didn't know if it was because of the alcohol or because Wang Xiaolan had given him a favor in the past, but he looked impatient and waved his hand and scolded, "Shut up! What are you talking about, you woman? We haven't seen each other for so many years, and we just had a few more drinks, why are you so unhappy?"
Wang Xiaolan rolled her eyes and said like she was coaxing a child, "I'm happy to do it. You're the man, so you have the final say! Do you want me to open two more bottles of wine?"
Liu Cuihua seemed to be watching a play from the side, and showed no sign of speaking at all, which made Ye Zhiqiu a little confused.
However, what Wang Xiaolan did next made him realize how cruel these two women were to their own men!
"Come on, sister, let's go open some wine for them!"
"Okay, Sister Lan!"
Ye Zhiqiu had nothing to do. Seeing that the two grown men were drunk, he didn't need to accompany them. He simply went to the yard to watch the four little guys playing with the little black dog.
As a result, I saw two women in the kitchen, filling wine bottles with water and pouring salt into them!
Ye Zhiqiu shrank his head. Could this be the wine that Cheap Dad and Uncle Qian were going to drink next?
I really don't know what to say. These two are so talented! Looking at the level of cooperation between the two, they must have done this kind of thing before!
After the two of them returned, Ye Zhiqiu pricked up his ears and listened, wanting to hear the reaction from inside.
"Old Ye, the wine is here, drink it first!"
"Old Qian, you have to go with your eldest brother!"
Ye Zhiqiu was so engrossed in listening that he even forgot to smoke!
Ye Tianya's voice came from inside: "Wife, bah, why is this wine tasteless? No, why doesn't it taste like alcohol? It's even too salty!"
"Don't talk nonsense. Look at your brother. He's already finished this glass of wine. You should drink it too!"
Qian Dafu said, "It's really salty. Why has the wine tasted different? Did someone rip you off when you bought the wine?"
"Nonsense, Old Qian, you must have tasted salt in your food. Let me pour you another cup and see if it's salty enough!"
"That's not right, Cuihua, this wine is still too salty..."
Ye Zhiqiu couldn't help but chuckle. These two women were really cruel! I don't know how much salt was put in this bottle of water. When they wake up the next day, they will definitely be thirsty!
After a long while, Ye Zhiqiu finished smoking his cigarette, and the two of them came out again with empty bottles.
Liu Cuihua whispered, "Sister Lan, I think we should add vinegar! Salt water doesn't make them feel refreshed, and adding some acid will probably sober them up!"
Wang Xiaolan nodded in agreement and said, "I think it's okay. I think we shouldn't add water. Let's just give it a cup of vinegar!"
Ye Zhiqiu quickly turned his head to the side, very worried that he would be discovered. He couldn't afford to offend these two old women!
Fortunately, the two of them were just talking about business and ignored his thoughts!
When they returned to the living room, the two of them sobered up soon and finally stopped clamoring to continue drinking!
It was already nine o'clock. Liu Cuihua and Qian Yuanjun each supported Qian Dafu, who was staggering as he walked, with Qian Xiaofang following behind, as they walked out of the Ye family's yard.
Only after they disappeared did Ye Zhiqiu and Ye Wubing help Ye Tianya back to their room.
After settling him down, Ye Zhiqiu asked Wang Xiaolan, who was clearing the table, with a curious look on his face, "Mom, did they sober up after drinking vinegar?"
Wang Xiaolan didn't even raise her head and said, "We didn't get to drink. By the time we got back to the living room, these two drunks had sobered up a bit and were clamoring to drink again next time."
"Haha, I really want to see their reaction after drinking vinegar. Will they say the wine is expired and sour?"
"Your father and your Uncle Qian used to be like this. Neither of them could hold their liquor very well, but the work was exhausting, so they had to drink a little every day. They got drunk so often that mother and your aunt grew impatient with their service.
I started giving them concentrated salt water and vinegar water, and after a few times they were able to control the dosage. Look at your father, when he was in Kaoshantun, he only got drunk once a year at most. That's why!"
Ye Zhiqiu nodded. It was true that he had never seen him drunk before. Usually, Ye Tianya was quite controlled when drinking.
"I guess they're having a good time tonight! It's fine if it doesn't affect work, but I'm worried they'll get too drunk and have trouble working tomorrow!"
Ye Zhiqiu returned to the courtyard and urged his second and youngest sisters to go back to bed. Seeing that they agreed to go to bed, he went back to his room, shooed away mosquitoes, turned off the lights and went to sleep.
The next morning at eight o'clock, when Ye Zhiqiu was squatting on the ground brushing his teeth, Ye Wubing also got up and came out.
He filled the water and squatted beside it, brushing his teeth as he asked vaguely, "Brother, you don't need a fishing rod today, do you? If you don't, I'll use it to go fishing!"
Ye Zhiqiu spat out the toothpaste foam in his mouth, rinsed his mouth, and then replied, "I'm going back to the factory today, so you can take it fishing. If you catch a fish, remember not to pull it hard, otherwise even the best rod will break."
"I see. Hehe, I wonder if I can catch any fish today!"
This depends on luck, but the novice protection period still exists. Anyway, when Ye Zhiqiu first bought this fishing rod, he caught a three-jin grass carp on his first fishing trip!
As for the future, there is no need to mention it!
When he came to the living room to drink porridge, he saw Wang Xiaolan sorting dried vegetables. He asked curiously, "Mom, what are you doing with this? Aren't we saving this for winter?"
Wang Xiaolan sighed, "You've seen Aunt Liu's situation. She's raising four people on her own, and her expenses are much higher than ours! I was thinking of giving them some dried vegetables. I'll help them save as much as I can!"
"Oh, I see! Then go ahead and make it. I'll find time to buy some. It's even cheaper in the countryside than fresh vegetables!"
This is true. Many dried vegetables cannot be sold at all, and they cannot be eaten, so they are forced to dry them. Otherwise, who would be willing to leave the fresh ones and insist on eating the dried ones?
Wang Xiaolan thought for a moment, then asked, "Son, are you coming back from work today? If not, I'll make less lunch for you."
Ye Zhiqiu thought about this question and decided not to go back! After all, he had been in the factory for so many days and had never eaten in the factory cafeteria. He might as well go and experience it!
So he replied, "Well, I'm going back to the factory today and will be back in the evening. You don't have to make lunch for me!"
After dinner, Ye Zhiqiu did not rush back to the factory. Instead, he said hello and tied up the turtles Ye Wubing had caught with straw and put them into a pack basket.
He rode his bike to the big canteen in Sanlitun. He wanted to see what they were selling today and also came to show his face.
