Chapter 106 Drinking
Wang Yuanchao picked up a piece of lamb ribs for his mother-in-law and his young wife, and said:
"If it tastes good, eat more. It is said that the happiest thing for a chef is that the guests like the dishes he cooks, and he likes others to praise his cooking skills the most.
Me too, the happier you eat, the happier I am. Mother-in-law, I'll go get a bottle of wine. Today is Yuanyuan and I's wedding day, so let's have a little drink to cheer us up."
Widow Du did not spoil the fun. She smiled charmingly at Wang Yuanchao with her beautiful eyes and said:
"Okay, let's drink together and wish you a happy wedding."
Wang Yuanchao returned to the room, took out a bottle of Moutai from his collection, went to the kitchen to get three small bowls, came to the yard, opened the wine and poured three bowls, then held up the wine and said to Zhang Yuanyuan: "Wife, fate is destiny, destiny is man-made. I am lucky to have a connection with you in this life. It is fate, destiny, and destiny. Come, let's drink a cup of wine together. For the rest of my life, please give me more guidance."
Zhang Yuanyuan looked at Wang Yuanchao's handsome face with an infatuated look, and listened to Wang Yuanchao's touching love words. She felt a little flustered. She didn't know what to say, and what to do? But the arrow was on the string and had to be shot. Zhang Yuanyuan had to shyly raise her glass, crossed her arms with Wang Yuanchao, and said: "Brother Yuanchao, the greatest happiness in my life is meeting you. For the rest of my life, please give me more guidance."
After saying that, Zhang Yuanyuan drank all the wine in the small bowl in one gulp.
Then he immediately started coughing and wanted to vomit. Wang Yuanchao had no choice but to drink the wine in one gulp. He stood up and patted Zhang Yuanyuan on the back, trying his best to help her relieve the effects of the alcohol.
Zhang Yuanyuan had never drunk alcohol in her life, so she mustered up the courage to drink the wedding wine in one gulp. As the wine entered her stomach, she immediately started to feel dizzy. Wang Yuanchao had no choice but to hold Zhang Yuanyuan with one hand and feed her food to make her feel better.
After a while, Zhang Yuanyuan finally came back to her senses.
Widow Du had just listened to Wang Yuanchao's sweet words to her daughter, and she had been feeling sad. Nowadays, couples get married after they fall in love with each other after a blind date, and they just live together to get by. They have never seen such sweet words as what Wang Yuanchao just said . Couples of this era may spend their entire lives together without ever saying anything about love.
Widow Du had been married for so long, but when her husband was still alive, he never even said he loved her. People are most afraid of comparison. When her former husband is compared with Wang Yuanchao, she feels that he is inferior in every way. After seeing that her daughter is getting better, Widow Du complained bitterly:
"Girl, if you can't drink, just drink less. How can you finish a bowl in one gulp? Do you think you are a drunkard?"
Zhang Yuanyuan was smart. She took advantage of her drunkenness to keep smiling foolishly at her mother without saying a word, which directly made Widow Du shut up.
Seeing this, Wang Yuanchao naturally did not want to make the atmosphere awkward, so he quickly poured himself a glass of wine, raised it and said:
"Mother-in-law, this glass of wine is to thank you. Thank you for carrying me for ten months, working hard for more than ten years, raising such a good girl like Yuanyuan, and handing her over to me, so that I can have such a good partner who can accompany me throughout my life. Come, I toast to you."
Widow Du listened to Wang Yuanchao's emotional words and thought of the grievances she had suffered while carrying her daughter. Two lines of tears silently hung on her charming face.
A single mother raised her daughter alone. Only she knew the courage and grievances she endured. At this moment, Widow Du was broken by Wang Yuanchao's words. She cried silently to vent her grievances and pain, and took a big sip of wine to welcome her new life.
Wang Yuanchao noticed that his mother-in-law was not right. After putting down his bowl, he picked up a piece of mutton with chopsticks and put it in his mother-in-law's bowl. He said with a worried look on his face:
"Come on, mother-in-law, have a bite of food first. The sun has just set. Let's drink the wine slowly. There's no rush."
Widow Du listened to her son-in-law's caring words, calmed down, forced a smile, and said to Wang Yuanchao: "Yuanchao, mother is fine, just happy just now. Mother raised Yuanyuan alone in the past few years.
Now I have finally found a good man for her, so she finally has someone to rely on in the future, and she is very happy. "
Wang Yuanchao saw through it but didn't say anything. Naturally, he didn't say anything more. Instead, he said sincerely:
"Mother-in-law, you know that I am the only one in my family, and you are the only mother left between my husband and me. As the old saying goes, obey your father at home, obey your husband after marriage, and obey your son after your husband's death. You only have one daughter, Yuanyuan, so you can live with us with peace of mind. In the future, not only will Yuanyuan have someone to rely on, but you will also have someone to rely on. In the future, I will support you two. I will be your support for the rest of your life."
Widow Du smiled happily while shedding tears, raised the small bowl of wine, and said to Wang Yuanchao: "Okay, Yuanchao, I will live with you from now on, help Yuanyuan take care of the family, wash clothes and cook for you, and take care of your children."
Wang Yuanchao raised his small bowl and clinked it with his mother-in-law. After taking a sip of wine, he said:
"Well, mother-in-law, our good days are still ahead. I will definitely make you and Yuanyuan live happily."
"Well, Yuan Chao, I believe you."
Widow Du's thoughts may be a little feudal and conservative, but she is not stupid. You have to know that in those days, it is not something that ordinary people can do to buy three turns and one ring in the countryside.
When Widow Du proposed the betrothal gift, she deliberately mentioned the radio just to test Wang Yuanchao's background and to see his reaction after he got the news so that she could better evaluate him.
Unexpectedly, Wang Yuanchao bought the three-turn and one-ring without saying a word and agreed to her conditions. From that moment on, Widow Du knew that Wang Yuanchao was definitely a capable and generous man. With such a character, he would definitely be a good match for her daughter.
In fact, it is not Widow Du's fault that she is so cunning. It is because Widow Du has raised her daughter alone all these years. If she was not so cunning, she would have been taken advantage of long ago.
You have to know that Widow Du came from the old society. She had witnessed many dirty, sordid and shameless things since she was a child. It was not uncommon to see people kicking widows' doors, occupying orphans' properties, and eating up the whole family.
But that is all in the past. Now Wang Yuanchao has completely won the approval of Widow Du, who is willing to support her in her old age and live with her and her daughter.
Widow Du naturally wanted to regard Wang Yuanchao as the support of her lower body.
After three rounds of drinking, Wang Yuanchao moved the other half of the recliner in the room to the porch and asked his mother-in-law and his young wife to lie on the recliner to cool off the alcohol. After he cleaned up the table, benches, dishes and chopsticks, he took out a watermelon from the space, cut it into pieces, put it in a ceramic washbasin, brought it out to the recliner and said:
"Mother-in-law, Yuanyuan, this is the watermelon I bought last time I went to the city. Eat some watermelon to get rid of the alcohol. I'm going to practice boxing first. You guys lie down and rest for a while."
"Okay, Yuan Chao, go practice boxing. A man should have martial arts skills to better protect the woman at home."
"Well, don't worry. I have been practicing Kung Fu since I was a child. Ten or eight ordinary people can't get close to me.
I have enough strength to protect you."
"Well, I believe you. Just look at Er Laizi and the others and you'll know. You took care of all seven of them."
